UKRAINE : A LESSON FOR AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARIES

The square in Maydan has held nearly a million people, but is being manned by as few as 20,000.

Their successes and sacrifices have encouraged people in other areas of the country to revolt.

It is very easy to render a country ungovernable, and a government illegitimate, with a very small number of people willing to use violence and to risk life and limb for freedom.

A small, armed, distributed population, willing to use weapons against police and military, to disrupt bureaucratic organizations from functioning under their the thin veil of legitimacy, can rapidly bring an economy to a halt.

The status quo in any society is not an immutable force of gravity. It’s a fragile set of habits, easily disrupted. And with that disruption the veil of ignorance is lifted from the public: governments are disposable. Freedom is not.

UKRAINE IS A TUTORIAL.

WATCH CAREFULLY.
