VI. Techniques of none-violent revolution
Techniques must be appropriate to the overall goal. Our central goal at this point is not the overthrow of the government, but thee overthrow of the mind-set of the American people. If we think differently as a nation, we will begin to act differently.
Now that all major news outlets have been bought off by the 1%, and mainly exist to provide diversion and propaganda, alternative new sites such as this one are of central importance. But we must remember that, for the most part, the information and ideas posted on alternative news sites do not reach the general public. Techniques must be developed that will awaken the people from their media induced slumber. For this jarring, but not violent, techniques must be used to capture their attention. Non-violent does not mean passive. A number of methods exist for putting the kind of understanding one finds in good alternative news sites before the rest of the population:
-
Tweets (short messages that provide links to more information).
-
Social media (get lots of friends and post political materials).
-
Politically focused graffiti (Banksy is but one example).
-
Street theater (Bread and Circus is a great example, but it need not be so elaborate).
-
E-books (These can be distributed for free, to anybody).
-
Pamphlets (Good old fashion Tom Paine type stuff left in public places).
-
Direct conversation (Keep it polite, but insistent).
-
Use of Open Source technology (It ' s user friendly these days).
-
Ignore copyrights on important information (Ideas and information that might be trans formative and/or life saving must also be O pen S ource).
-
Political post cards (pined on bulletin boards, pasted inside toilet stalls, everywhere).
-
Teach-ins (Where did they go? Once they were beautiful.).
-
Occupying public sites of various sorts. (Occupy was on the right track.)
-
The development of cooperatives.
