Duncans right here.  Individually no one person can defeat such a thing. But collectively when enough have given up the ideal that someone somewhere MUST be in charge or everything fails. Thats when changes happen, then it becomes abour agency about what are YOU going to do about it not some hand wavey "im gunna make sure this person gets into office so X happens" 

 A small group of people is negligible and can be crushed by the state,  but how is the state going to do that to say a million people all just saying "ya I'm not doing that" when it's on a small level they can justify the violence at that scale (it was a fringe minority extremists group) but when you overtly participate in the other systems they cant control you make the violence more blatent, you make them show their hand to others that know this isnt right. Thats the point bring out the states motives to the light to show others what it is that they a truly dealing with. Sadly this isnt a war that can be won on dialect means, its one that can only be won by what the masses understand,  rhetoric.
