Has there ever been a time in history when the ruling class has been overthrown WITHOUT violence?
If so, when and where?
If not, then isn't everyone who insists on absolute nonviolence actually advocating surrender to the ruling class forever?

“Buried in the #budget papers is a revelation that Labor plans to impose a minimum effective #tax rate of 51 per cent on distributions from #discretionary #trusts to so-called bucket #companies.
The move is aimed squarely at the “hundreds of thousands” of people who use such strategies to split income with their #families”
Who has a family trust?
This is the new “Franking Credit” squeals from the Pearl clutching set. Isn’t it?

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
Just now, when every one is bound, under pain of a decree in absence convicting them of lèse-respectability, to enter on some lucrative profession, and labour therein with something not far short of enthusiasm, a cry from the opposite party, who are content when they have enough, and like to look on and enjoy in the meanwhile, savours a little of bravado and gasconade. And yet this should not be. Idleness so called, which does not consist in doing nothing, but in doing a great deal not recognized in the dogmatic formularies of the ruling class, has as good a right to state its position as industry itself.Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1877-07), “An Apology for Idlers,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 36
