Torches and pitchforks became obsolete about a century ago anyway, the offshore bank account and private jet are too effective as counters. Now its boycotting and voting.
Still runs into the problem of people not being on the same continent as you any time they feel like it, along with their accumulated wealth. I suppose you could use an ICBM.
Better luck than thinking you'll have one of the few successful mass uprisings over one of the thousands that just gets crushed and gets like 2 sentences in a history book. Slow reform actually has a modest success rate, as we ourselves demonstrated under people like Teddy and FDR. Just not as sexy.
Ummmm, rioting always has been and still is on the menu.
Boycotting and voting hasn't worked that well in 4 decades, time to drag the owner class into the streets and remind them what happened to Rome and France.
In California you can only buy torches and pitchforks that are approved by the state. Guess how many inexpensive ones are approved (lol, none). If you want to carry your torch or pitchfork outside of your house it either needs to be locked in a box or you need to buy a permit, which runs about $1200. There's also a fee for a background check anytime you want to buy torch fuel, and they're raising it by 500%.
I'm actually talking about guns, and yes, they should be easier to get. The government and the wealthy should concern themselves with improving material conditions to avoid unrest instead of trying to monopolize the capacity for violence.
