I figure gallows and guillotines are in the same bucket. Pitchforks a step or two before that.
I'm a little annoyed that General Strikes and other forms of economic deterrence aren't on the list. You'd be surprised how far you can get when you threaten the profit margin. A lot of these guys will cave in a matter of weeks when they realize they might not have the money for a new yacht.
Those would be great. 50501 is trying hard with the protests, but without media coverage they just get swallowed. And I can only think that strikes aren't happening because of a combination that the labor economy is shit, and because an astonishingly large number of union members are Trump supporters. You see this occasionally when union leadership, who knows better, clash with their members.
I don't think violent revolution, if it breaks out, is going to be that so much as another civil war. The rich have learned from history, and are very effective at turning the classes against each other.
