>Mostly through peaceful means. Sorry, tard, but history is mostly boring. It's everyday interactions and ideas built over a very long time that get things "moving."

The idea that peaceful protests/revolutions in the past could have achieved results in a vacuum independent of the threat or existence of violence is fricking hysterical and ahistorical. Just the most pea brained understanding of history.

>With the rise of towns came merchants and trade. International trade associations complete with private courts and security sprung into existence to compensate for the shit systems of government.

This BIPOC thinks the merchant courts of the 16/17th century are the foundation of our legal systems and rights . R-slur, the proles didn't have any real rights under the feudal system and it wasn't until Napoleon came along and shook things up that Europeans drafted general civil codes.

>Much of common law, which you live and breathe in, was built on the backs of everyday farmers and traders.

That you're right about.

>Centuries of weedling and begging r-slurred demogogues for a crum of private property has become the pillar from which you can buy your dumbphone and b-word and moan about capitalism.

You mean centuries of collective action, organized labor, boycotts and political activism. To which there's mountains of literature detailing the progress from the early industrial revolution to today. Progress that shows active coercion by the masses absolutely works and achieves results. We would still have 8 year olds working in factories and have 100 hour work weeks if the people back in 19th century hadn't collectively demanded better working conditions, rights and protections.

>Almost all the violent "revolutions" have been absolute failures because they simply replace the status quo peepeeheads with another set of peepeeheads, e.g. the French Revolution, the Bolshevik uprising, Mao's nonsense, and almost every turd world coup in the ME, Africa, Latin America, and South America.

If u think painting gwaffwiti in wawws and bweaking a cwoupwal windwows is being "viowalnt" then u're a b-word-made straggwot and shwould unyiwonyicawwy keep yourself safe.
