Remember kiddies the RED didn't get in there with daisy chains and be-ins.
To update an old standard: "
“A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.” - Mao Ze Dong

“A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery, or stroking your iphone, tablet or computer, nor is it chatting on facebook, instagram or twitter, it is not the latest offering at the mall boutique or a latte at Starbucks, it is not skinny jeans, a smartwatch or a trip to disneyland, it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of bloody, mass violence, lasting months or decades by which one class overthrows another.”

Had it been put this way the misguided 'Arab Spring' might never have happened ?
