I'd love if that were possible

Edit: I fear people are misunderstanding my comment. We can and should dismantle the government, I would rather we do that peacefully but don't think that's possible.

In a beatling like mine, Norway, I dont think armed rebellion would make sense (initially), but I think as people remove themselves from the coggery, the coggery will act increasingly oppressive. Thats when gerilja forces will be necessary. We need to be prepared for that moment.

However, I believe norwegians in general are fully committed to might as a method of change. It is not even taboo to question the legitimacy of the so called democratic institiution.

But we do have a spirit of commons, we just think that it has to be intertwined with the coggery.

If the government is agreeable to a peaceful disbandment, sure.

If they're not... Then no.

And after turtle violently overthrew the government and put himself in power, he ruled as an enlightened ruler who never let the power go to his head and never started persecuting those who he perceives as threats.

That was turtle's undoing. Everyone knows you need to suppress political descent once you assume power. Then slowly start slipping into madness because hierarchies are for the birds.

Isn't that what Mario Savio basically said, "throw your body upon the odious gears so your body can act like a kinder, gentler gear"?

Give the Norwegian guy a peace prize.

JFK said it. MLK said it.

Whatever happened to those guys?

I love Mr Lovenstein comics (name removed from this comic for some reason) but he didn't have to go to this trouble when the Anakin/Padme meme already exists.

Turtle and their gang set up worker assemblies to collectively decide the direction of their community, and peacefully ceded all power to all the people, thereby ensuring that no one person could overthrow their direct democracy
