It’s called a soft revolution

Last week’s editorial concluded that there are two kinds of revolution: violent and non-violent, and that, in the modern world, non-violent or “soft” revolutions as they are called, are the only ones that stand any chance of success.

We know that militarily powerful regimes can be replaced without violent revolution, because they already have been. The United States, for example, was slowly converted to a collectivist regime through exactly that process.

Governments can be seized through the mass media, the educational system, the entertainment industry, the banking system, and the ballot. Had conquest been attempted through force and violence, it would have failed.

Last week, I wrote: “The new battlefields are the power centers of society: the organizations and institutions that shape national policy. That’s where we lost control to the collectivists and, if we are ever going to get it back, that’s where we will do it.”

Soft revolutions, however, just like revolutions of force and violence, can never succed without leaders, planning, organization, strategy, and funding, so the question is: can these requirements be met within the present freedom movement?

The answer is a resounding yes, and there is an organization, called Freedom Force International, that was designed specifically for that purpose.

I created Freedom Force in 2002 to become the nexus of a global network of people who have the will to participate in a soft revolution for freedom and the imagination to envision a path to that end.

If you would like to know what that path looks like and where it is headed, I invite you to visit the Freedom Force website here.
