“Peaceful revolution is the only kind of revolution that can get us out of this difficult situation.” –Thich Nhat Hanh
Nonviolent nonaggressive conflict management.
Dialogue with people of different beliefs.
Maintaining a foundation of basic respect for our opponents – occupying the moral high ground – swaying indecisive minds to our side.
Coercing our opponents to work with us – nonaggressively.
During this age of anguish and unrest, reclaiming and reviving irenology and polemology (the sciences of peace and conflict), and the philosophy of pacifism, are crucial strategies for serious revolutionaries.
Vengeance is a turn-off. Nonaggression is essential to gaining and keeping allies in our fight against archenemies. Nonviolence is the only weapon powerful enough to dismantle modern oligarchies and imperial death machines.
