    Well, both parties are also filled with money and other resources needed to ensure that only two parties can succeed.

    We need alternative voices in office, but I don’t think that’s happening without some form of revolution. The best one can hope for in lieu of that is co-opting a party’s direction over a span of decades, like the fascists did to the GOP.

      If you can’t organize a political movement, you definitely can’t organize a revolution. Also, if history is a guide, the people with wealth tend to end up in power after a revolution.

        I wonder how well thought past revolutions actually were. Did they seriously plan what they will do after they win or did things just move on and suddenly they had to come up what to do now.

        Anyways, people with wealth taking power is definitely something that must be planned against or you might as well not do anything in the first place.
