While I appreciate your enthusiasm, it's well nigh impossible for the citizens to act against an entrenched government backed by a weaponized intel apparatus with the attendant enforcement tools provided by the military, police, and party thugs. It's certainly very difficult for the opposition to organize and coordinate. Say you were planning anti-government activities. How many people could you have in the room before operational security was potentially compromised? * What plans do you have for dealing with armor rolling down the street?** Consider: From the big anti-Vietnam War march on DC to that war's wretched end took years and years and years. Half the Americans who died in Vietnam did so while we were supposed to be trying to get out. It was ... frustrating. I visited recently with a clerk at a local Publix, a woman from Nicaragua whose fingernails were colored like the Venezuelan flag. "No hope," she said sadly. It felt a lot like that here during the Vietnam/Cointelpro era.
