3. One of the myths is that revolution has to be violent.

I've been misunderstood when saying we need an evolution, not a revolution. What I mean is when people are educated, they will chose the proper path. When uneducated, they'll just fight to get rid of what is hurting them. That's how the US was created. We split, and fought.

Sadly, we operate in reality. There are many greedy and controlling people who can't think outside of their own wishes. Those days are behind us now, with the access to unlimited information, and the collective mind it has created. The rich won't go quietly, but the poor outnumber them by magnitudes.

The answers are simple, and if united, very possible to accomplish. When no one will pick up the arms the rich have provided, they'll have no one to fight against those who want to work for a healthier society.

It's like trying to fix a lion's broken leg. It'll fight you to the death to avoid being put in a cast.
