War is a very ugly thing and in a revolution people will die.
Given that the military ( and, more importantly the Corporations that supply it ) would have the best shot at seizing power? The odds for "substantially worse" rise dramatically.
The ultimate truth is that we have a consumer driven society that caters to, and only to, our spending habits.

Fact of the matter is, most people are too complacent and caught up in their own daily lives to worry about such banner waving fist in the air nonsense.
Talk is cheap, and we've heard it before.

I was speaking of the military as a whole. The majority will not go along with it. It is however a slow moving roller coaster.

With that said, we need a violent Revolution, a bloody revolution where many will DIE! At the rate of America's complacency to allow the government into every aspect of our lives, and one by one destroy our Constitutional Amendments in front of us. If you make peaceful revolution impossible, you will make violent Revolution INEVITABLE!
We all have to remember when America was Being conceived our "Fore Fathers" were considered Terrorists and an enemy of the state of the british empire, and were hunted down like dogs. To stand up to tyranny is to be called, Terrorists, by todays standards.

Who's going to replace the dastardly evil doers?
Should a violent revolution remove it... A theocracy? A military dictatorship? An oligarchy of some sort?
if you think of yourself as a GOD, you think you have no limits. Why would you stop yourself. You wouldn't.
Military court finds Calvin Gibbs guilty of murdering Afghan civilians, but decides against automatic life sentence.

In my opinion, people that talk this revolution nonsense aren't real big on world political strategy.
1. Who's one of the largest superpowers on the planet?
2. What happens to the rest of the planet if that superpower dissolves into internal revolution?
Your little revolution could very well equal a joint China/Russian (or insert conglomerate confederation of nations claiming "concern") "peace-keeping" mission (invasion) just to make sure that "fair and balanced" elections and restoration of order occurs.
yup.
