Personally I think a revolution is an unrealistic pipe dream in the modern world. We perhaps like to think that with enough people-power we can overthrow non-democratic governments... I doubt it's actually true, and trying is probably a quick way to find yourself behind bars or dead. Not many people are willing to be martyrs, when it comes down to it. That's not a judgement really ... I wouldn't die for a political ideology either.
