JUST PHILOSOPHISING ON - IF NOT VIOLENT REVOLUTION HOW CAN THE OPPRESSED FREE THEMSELVES FROM GREIVOUS OPPRESSORS? PART 2.

 

Are the oppressed, having been admonished or advised not to use violence and destruction their country's infrastructures as their means of improving their living conditions. 

Now simply to resign themselves to seemingly perpetual despotism of those who misappropriate the privilege of becoming their rulers? 

But without the desirable active legitimisation from, and appropriate level of accountability from them, the oppressed?

I mean, consider what is occurring in Afghanistan and Iran, where the people are being ruled and oppressed by religious zealots. 

Based on the latter's crude and outdated cultural mores and their malevolent interpretations of how 'God' wants the people to live? 

Are Afghans and Iranians living their respective countries to simply bow their heads and prostrate their bodies and get on with their enforced anachronistic life of drudgery, permanently? 

I mean, how would that equate with the seemingly natural, innate desire and aspiration of the evolving human species to rise to and achieve gradual improvement in all aspects of our sentient condition? 

Might it not convey the impression, the proposition that, yes, it is indeed better that a person should die fighting for his/her/their right to live a reasonably free life.  

Instead of continuing to exist as no more than a functionary in an unaccountable  oppressive theistic state?

That, undoubtedly, will be the conclusion of some people, and it is one which will, at times, seems both attractive and unavoidable. 

Even if its implementation could prove to be both homicidal and suicidal in equal or unequal measures. 

To be continued!
