    Cultural change is much easier when you have a state or a revolution behind you.

      It’s not the kind of cultural change we need though. A peaceful sustainable world full of free peoples will never come from coercion.

        Cuba’s doing pretty well. I couldn’t imagine how they’d have gotten to where they are now if they didn’t have their revolution.

          That was also 60 years ago, the world has changed. What happened in Cuba would not be possible today in a place like the U.S.

          You might notice that Cuba is, well, they’re not actually doing very well. Not their fault mind you, it’s the fault of the U.S. keeping the boot on their neck. Successful violent revolution cannot happen in the U.S. and if it happens anywhere else the U.S will put a prompt end to it.

          If you want to make the world a better place, look for realistic solutions.
