No, but him being adequate to not dragging leftists out behind the barn and having them shot is a necessary basis for any sort of improvement.
Bombing everyone seems inefficient to the goal, which in a revolution is overthrow of the existing order. I'm not aware of any peaceful overthrowings of existing orders, can you point to some?
Depends on what you consider peaceful, I suppose.
What would you say was the least violent revolution that succeeded, by whatever metrics you use for those words?
Depends. The Russian Revolution was fairly bloodless, and overthrew the Monarchy. The USSR obviously had a whole slew of different issues, but was dramatically better than the Monarchy.
How do you think Electoralism could achieve genuine change?
