A “fight”?? Tell me about the rabbits, George. They (the corporate elite and their paid servants) have all the money, the weapons, the surveillance, and their paramilitary stooges, the deluded, gun-toting neofascist morons who lap up the 24/7 brainwashing of Fox News, right-wing hate radio, and Breitbart and other paranoid noise machines, are only too happy to become their undercover (and officially unacknowledged and disposable) death squads.

No. The ONLY way to fight encroaching tyranny is to practice Satyagraha — the discipline of nonviolent noncooperation with evil that Gandhi, King, and Mandela all mastered. If you are not into its spiritual basis, there is an entirely pragmatic approach to this time-tested discipline that I highly recommend — and it is a free downloadable book: Gene Sharp’s “From Dictatorship to Democracy.”
