Samurai Quack posted:No revolution in human history has ever occured without thousands, hundred thousands, even millions of deaths, and widespread suffering for the innocent. People calling for the violent upheaval of the system always seem to cast themselves as glorious leaders of the new age, but this is just as dumb as believing yourself to be a Randian Captain of Industry. Chances are the violent overthrow of the system will have you up against the wall as likely as anyone else. You are 100% wrong on this. The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnation_Revolution in Portugal was practically bloodless. There's even a list of some other ones. Also, even if you decide to attribute pretty much every death and suffering you can to a given revolution and end up with some big 'ol hyperbolic number, the only real fair comparison is to look at deaths and suffering caused by the status quo, which you'll find is immense in pretty much every country in the world.
