Civil Resistance: A First Look (English)

Civil resistance is a way for ordinary people to fight for their rights, freedom and justice without using violence. People engaged in civil resistance use diverse tactics, such as strikes, boycotts, mass demonstrations and other actions, to cause wide-ranging social, political and economic change. Around the world, civil resistance has been called by different names—nonviolent struggle, direct action, people power, political defiance, and civic mobilization—but regardless of which term is used, the fundamental dynamics of civil resistance remain essentially the same.

The monks, priests sing and praise their rule. People live like zombies that don't have souls. I'm talking about Communist China. Who the hell on this earth dare say they have a cure for that country? Even when i say these words in English, I guarantee you that there will be trained English-speaking plants saying he/she is from that country and feels happy living there and that country is No 2 in their size of economy where most of people don't earn 200 bucks a month.

Obviously, according to the video, the ruler can still rule over those who are brainwashed followers. The absolutism nowadays has evolved, the dictator is no longer one person, but it's a Party that shares the same interest instead; The single power never allows any grouping of people on streets, they use plants, spies, secret police to root out "the planner"; They cut off people's two way communication with outside world to make them believe they need the absolute rule

This doesn't work in Ethiopia . The minority Tigre tribe solders are ready to kill the whole people who is out on the street.
