The Working Part of an Ax is Thin

Slow Down is a book by Saito that presents a Marxist viewpoint to solve the notion of global warming. Why anyone would turn to a bad economic philosophy responsible for murderous--even demographic disrupting--inhumanity for any insight is hard to explain. Yet the book presents the outrageous, but often heard, concept of a Rosseau-like luddite deconstruction of the modern world for the benefit of all. 

One--perhaps accidental--revelation is the fascinating admission of the number Harvard political scientist Erica Chenoweth came up with in her research into protest strategies as the percentage of a population that must rise up sincerely and nonviolently to bring about a major change to society.

That number is 3.5%. 

Now that number is not what Madison was thinking when he was developing a republic concept to protect minorities from democratic bullying.
