How far would the US have to go before you'd become a revolutionary?

[Thorn]

· I would when the Constitution is dissolved and a psychotic christian-right dictatorship is established. Unless they give me an opportunity to leave this madness and emigrate to Europe.

Will the rest of you (those that are revolutionary capable) wait until it is too late, or are you cowards like the cattle, Americans in groups, are known to be?

What chances does a revolutionary movement have against the strongest Military Power in the World With the ability to destroy the world over and over again 1000s of times in a matter of minutes?

Would Civil War and Civil Strife occur, would they be effective, will they be repressed, how many would die arbitrarly?

Start discussing these issues, can't hurt now, better to be prepared then ran over by the military might before you have a chance to wake up and smell the burnt remains of your friends and families.

Elect Ronald Reagan.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Once Congress passes an amendment saying that the U.S. is a Christian nation, or something to that effect.

[Ben Kenobi]

Define revolutionary.

If you mean taking arms, I would never do so in any circumstances.

As in, it's already gone too far? Or as in, when they elect him again?

[chequita guevara]

As in, I became a revolutionary because of Ronnie.

Uh, well, yeah. I would think that any "psychotic dictatorship" of any ilk, right or left, religious or irreligious, would need to be fought with all your American heart and passion.

Soldiers patrolling the streets would likely set me off regardless of political persuasion (unless, of course, there was a massive attack/invasion on US soil).

Probably would've become an assassin had Goldwater won, eh?

Soldiers patroling the streets doesn't make me want to fight. It makes me want to flee. People with guns scare me.

I don't know if I would even have been born. Barry woulda have nuked Vietnam and that woulda been the end of that.

There is no excuse for a nation to oppress its citizens.

Me, about a few days after the government starts regulating caffeine and sugar.

[AgentSubversion]

I am rebelling now.
It's the devils way now
theres no way out
you can scream and you can shout
but it's too late now
because you've not been
paing attention

I take up arms when the left wing commies, socialists or the like seize power and start rigging elections, nationalizing industry, and outlawing religion except in the privacy of one's thoughts.

[Nubclear]

Hmm....And if the right wing conservatives sieze the government and begin rigging elections, privatizing industry, and outlawing all OTHER religions except christianity?
Well nevermind...You'd be right at home, wouldn't you Ned?

I wouldn't take up arms for this country. I'd simply move.
However barring that, I'd take up arms when all facets of controlling the government close up.

[MrFun]

If I were ever to become a revolutionary, I would be more of a public activist contributing to the movement that way, rather than as an armed guerrilla.

This is coming from a guy who doesn't know which end of a gun he should hold to fire it.
