“We have no recourse other than Revolution. And btw somewhere I would bet Revolution has been outlawed so what corse do we have?”

Of course revolution is always illegal. You have to be willing to pay the price if you can’t win, which is a good thing, because you really don’t want people resorting to revolution over matters that aren’t serious enough for them to take that risk.

But it’s not the only recourse. We could engage in mass civil disobedience, for example, which the right so far has mostly not even bothered to try, but which is a tried and proven tactic that has even forced the world’s most powerful empire (at the time) to come to the negotiating table. It doesn’t always work, but I’d say it’s certainly worth a try before you go and revolt.

Then there are also other steps people might consider that aren’t legal but don’t rise to the level of all-out revolution. Sabotage, for example. Targeted assassinations. Terrorism. Not pretty things, but all of them are tactics that have proven effective in other situations in the past yet still fall short of a full revolution.
