You present a good point, here. I don't "want" a revolution either, but we need one. Just think: things will get worse if we do not preempitvely act. If that requires us to have a revolution, then so be it. As you said, our present state won't cut it. It just so happens that the chaos caused by revolution is milder than the chaos caused by the eventual collapse and ruin of our system's unsustainable practices.
