Is it the opposite of democracy?

Yes.

what would your revolution look like?

If we’re talking about the United States, non-violent, presumably brought about by collective action and enforcing laws regarding protections to citizens, labor unions, the environment, etc. that are already on the books.

Look, I’m assuming you’re a true-believer tankie; clearly, I’m not and never will be.

Let’s not waste each other’s time, anymore. I gotta walk my dogs, smoke a spliff and rub my wife’s back when she gets home, and you gotta do whatever it is you do.

Good luck with the revolution. 👍🏽
