(5,648 posts)The quote is "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. John F. Kennedy".
And now you want to parse the meaning of "violent Revolution"?!?!?!
Let' look at the definition of the two words:
violent - vi·o·lent vī{e}lent/ - adjective: Using or involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.
revolution - rev·o·lu·tion - revəˈlo͞oSH(e)n - noun: revolution; plural noun: revolutions: A forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a new system.
Given those the definitions of those two word, violent revolution, there is no other context in which one can interpret what Kennedy meant except in the manner I understood it.
So I ask again. Who is going to lead this violent revolution? Is it going to be Bernie Sanders or will it be the non-existent paramilitary militias of the far left?
