I do not think/hope it will come to that. But for methodology it is hard to beat Robespierre.
I agree.
Say what you will about the Jacobins but they got rid of the Ancient Regime in a hurry...They literally chopped off the head of the ruling class from the king and queen on down.
Personally, I think old Robespierre went thousands of executions too far - The point could have been made just as well with the trials and executions of the leading members of the Regime, as was done by the Allies to the Nazis after WW II.
The rank & file ruling class can be neutralized by prison, exile and poverty as was done to the Tory ruling class after the First American Revolution.
Canada could find good use for 20 million new English speaking citizens that would double their population in a few months in the aftermath of a Second American Revolution.

I’m thinking of doing another article on what many are calling “The Second American Revolution” and I’m interested in using some of the arguments against a revolution you have advanced.
Again, my take is that a revolution started on January 20, 2009 when Obama took office. Therefore, those of us who oppose Obama and want to restore the republic are rebels, or in Marxist terms, “Counter-Revolutionists.” (CONTRAS)
Of course, to this point Obama’s revolution has been more or less peaceful, but that could change overnight since the man is apparently a radical socialist of some type and a psychopath.
Also, the Left knows they may never again be in a commanding position to overthrow the USA and that time is running out.
A good metaphor would be Lee at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863 when he ordered Pickett’s assault on the Union center in a last roll of the dice for Southern independence.
So we wait for the other shoe to drop.
Peace or War?
The ball is in the Leftist camp.
