    You don’t. The answer is always, without exception, going to be violence in the long term. It is the only permanent equalizer that is able to forcibly impose large scale social reorientation. At the most basic level the social order of government systems, regardless of form, are an agreement about who controls the monopoly on the use of violence. Given where we are currently at as a culture I don’t think that bodes well for the future because we are treading a very thin line with giving inmates control of the asylum.

      I fear that you are correct. Unfortunately, conservatives are steeped in a culture of violence and violent preparation; anyone on the left automatically thinks the best of their fellow man. They aren’t going to be ready if conservatives trigger another civil war in America.
