Alan: Many Americans have a romantic view of "revolution" just as they romanticize The Second Amendment as protection against tyrannical government.
When the center no longer holds, things fall apart.
Until then, armed conflict is a catastrophic alternative to cultivating popular disaffection to propel implosion.
The 20th century's most sprawling dictatorship of the 20th collapsed -- without a shot being fired -- from its own dead weight.
It is not necessary to explode what is destined to implode.
