<br>You'll need to have a well thought up plan before you do this and even then, there are likely to be problems as you need to debug the new system. See Soviet Russia and the two revolutions ending/beginning it for details on how to fuck up a country.

<br>> I think the way to reach people isn't necessarily going to be a big loud violent revolution, but a very subtle touch involving patience, reason and an open mind, to get people, and in turn politicians, to stop leaning towards these socialist police-state trends.

<br>I don't think we can agree on it being socialist here, but I agree that police state trends should be stopped if you want to keep calling your country free in a sense that's not because you're not allowed call not free or the Party will take you. The totalitarian trends practiced in Bush's USA are rather concerning.

<br>Personally, I find Ron Paul Revolution very suspicious. I can see why it appeals to people who want things to be done, but it might as well create as many problems for US as it creates, as his views are fairly extreme.
