SF Signal Mind Meld: On revolutions and independence movements

[la_marquise]

I'm over at SF Signal, as one of their Mind Meld authors discussing books about revolutions and independence movements today. There are some great recommendations there.

And Happy 4th July to my friends in the USA.

Skirt of the day: denim.

Armchair warmongers are common in the more comfy sort of society. Nonetheless, given the sea of blood that most revolutions spill, I don't think it's for people who risk nothing to advocate revolution other than in their own country.

Oh, no-one who isn't prepared to be harmed should ever advocate revolution, I agree. That's why I picked the books I did: they endorse that and examine the consequences honestly.
(Me, I am willing to pay the price if it came to it here. But I am odd, as we know. And I'm not willing to sacrifice others, so...)
