What I am doing is making an observation.

Revolutions aren't up to me to decide. They happen as a result of the conditions that many can no longer tolerate. Often, they are violent, especially if the state applies use of force against people seeking a redress of their grievances. Though, when the peoples' use of violence is in a defensive posture against the state's monopoly on the use of violence, I am indeed an advocate.
