You Say You Want a Revolution?

Revolutions do not start simply because people are fed up with the status quo, in fact. Societies are not static. The uprisings begin when people feel cheated by change. And that can happen across the ideological spectrum. It can feed the fury of black bloc anarchists and the rage of neo-Nazi gangs. It can bring mothers with their babies in strollers out onto the streets, and send marchers protected only with handkerchiefs into the clouds of teargas and the torrents of water cannons.
