I suspect that agitation by means of words is insufficient against Orwellian style despotic regime. What I believe is needed is to empower the common people to agitate with weapons.
I think that arming the citizenry is the most effective way of advancing towards a regime change.
A dictatorship wants their subjects to be docile, not thinking for themselves, obedient and weak, In a word: sheep. So that the subjects cannot effectively resist whatever creed the regime is scourging on them.
Such a regime has first and foremost one thing on its mind – how to hold-on to power. Therefore it is always stamping out dissent from within and crushing any form of insurgency.
That violent brutality needs to be reciprocated in kind – for aggression understands no other language but its own – and the only effective way of doing that is by giving the people the means to exercise violence themselves.
I expect that this most primal democratic form of breaking the state’s monopoly on violence will increasingly nibble at the regime’s ability to exercise control over its repressed nation.
The key is in technology and the will to do so. Cheap manufacturing of weapons for mass circulation is arguably what is needed.
What a dissenter needs is a personal weapon. One that is small, easy to conceal, light weight and muffled-shot. The varied arsenal of explosives can be supplanted according to needs.
Like the West drops bags of staples on famished lands, like the Americans dropped portable radios on Iraqis, so we need to get weapons into the hands of oppressed people.
One method of dispensing these items could be just that: air-borne drops for random mass distribution accompanied with native language yielding instructions and tips.
The effect will be to nibble at the regime: no presganging police will walk freely or carry out their orders without fear of effective resistance and reprisal.
Naturally, I expect the regime will retort by threatening any weapon carrier with the pains of death and will do its outmost to remove these weapons.
Invasion followed by a military campaign to forcibly oust a regime are totally out of the question.
Only when a bloody dialectic of violence, the likes of the Wild West’s “Billy the Kid” gun stands and shooting spree scenes, will reign supreme and wreak havoc in any control mechanism will the yoke of a despotic regime be lifted.
