Because nothing less will change things.
Change things to what? The American Revolution is one of the rare revolutions that created a better country in its wake. The Russian revolution had pretty lofty goals, but it ended up putting Stalin in power. It's the same story in a lot of revolutions.
Perhaps a new revolution will be started by "patriots," but there's no guarantee that those who started it will end up on top in the end.
Excellent post, and excellent point at the end.
Jacques Mallet du Pan watched the work of the guillotine during the French Revolution, then made the famous comment "the Revolution devours its children".
But maybe you guys are right. Maybe it won't work. Maybe things aren't so bad right now and just maybe they won't get worse.
I'm sure the Austrians said the same thing in 1938...
