Changes

If a country, nation, or people is being oppressed, is that justification for revolting? Well, what is a revolt? I would say that a revolt is a dramatic and often forceful change of government. Is it wrong? I would say that it depends on the nature of the revolt. For example, the French revolution, which lost all semblance of any form of government, except anarchy. Is that right? My personal thought on the matter is that if you are going to cause that kind of upheaval and bloodshed, the new form of government had better be drastically better than the original, which the French government was not. What about the American Revolution? It showed forethought, rational thinking, and drastic improvement, all with minimal bloodshed. I would say that one cannot collectively justify or condemn of revolutions. There are just too many variables.
