And you might not believe in it, but the French of utilized this method to much success. Honestly, we did to way back when if you want to throw in the revolutionary war.

There are many more examples of revolutions that did more harm that good, than vice versa. It may be there only viable avenue left, but I think it's grossly ignorant to think it won't sweep up a whole lot of innocents, with a good chance of ending up in a defacto brutal dictatorship for a few decades.

Those are heavy dice to throw. If they're the only dice, then so be it, but I really hope not.
