I'm not sure what you meant to say.
I meant precisely what I meant.
A true popular uprising on 'our' side, to succeed, must have, at the least, the following:
1. The comprehension that it is not enough to protect the status quo from some future reforms. The current status quo must be understood as an oppressive and evil one before it can be overthrown.
2. The willingness to take political and personal risks -
not through political violence, of course, but through long-term protests and even 'louder' techniques like civil disobedience, one-man picket watches, etc. etc.
In short, what we need is revolutionaries, just right-wing ones.
