People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

When peaceful Revolution becomes impossible, violent ones become inevitable.

This is such a beautiful quote!

[SilverShieldGrp]

You get whacked for speaking such truth...

[TheWilliamcale]

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their Constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember it or overthrow it."

Quote by: Abraham Lincoln

(1809-1865) 16th US President

There is no such thing as a peaceful removal of a corrupt and dangerous system. Bloodshed must be made to make a change. The rulers act with the mass consent of the ruled, when this breaks down (i.e Russian Revolution, Libya, Egypt etc) an impassible object - the ruler - meets and unstoppable force - the ruled. It is the ensuing disaster where change is born. And it is often terrible and frightening but unfortunately necessary in the long run. Until the world changes revolutions will be constant

True, goverments should be afraid of their people cause thats the only way they have any incentive to do things right. judicial, legislative and excecutive power protect each other, so they can steal and nothing will happen to them, if they were afraid of what could happen to them if their actions were illegal or innapropiate, things would be a bit better at least. People gives goverements their power

Unfortunately as well, people tend to stick with politicians instead of their own ideas. To continue the example of the US, I'm sure there are still people who will justify anything Obama does as rightful, even if they would have previously been appalled by it, just because Obama does it. As Ron Paul supporters will support him throughout his outrageous claims (especially concerning gold, homosexuals and religion) simply for him being Ron Paul. Quite sad actually.

In a perfect world that would be the case. Unfortunately this is not a perfect world, people are corrupt. That is why anyone in a position of great power should be afraid when he uses it. Afraid of the consequences of his or her actions he or she commits by the power vested in him or her by the people they affect. Makes perfect sense. Unfortunately this is not the case today. Take the US and their TSA body scans, where is the outrage over this?

[IncurablePessimist]

I dissagree, nobody should be afraid of anybody else, it fits more into the theme of the movie; that regimes that rule through fear are doomed to fail.

[Jurassic0Al]

@thirdfloorwindo- Quite so.

[thirdfloorwindo]

@Jurassic0Al we call it democracy not facism.... but yes I agree, although the US was founded on ideals of "united we stand divided we fall", having complete unity is just as bad as having complete anarchy.

[Jurassic0Al]

@TheWilliamcale- an impressive statement, but doesn't that at least somewhat justify the Irish right to independence from Britain, and the Southern right to independence from the United States? If any people should join a union voluntarily, they should reserve the right to leave if that becomes their will.
