    "Arab spring" is called the wave of protests that swept the Arab world in 2011 and such has caused upheavals in Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen, civil war in Libya and Syria, the mass demonstrations in Algeria, Iraq, Morocco, Oman and other countries. "Green" revolution in Iran say the protests of opponents ultraconservative politician Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who took to the streets in the 2009th, when he was elected president of the Islamic Republic for a second term.

    Let us not forget the "Rose Revolution" in Georgia in 2003-2004, and the "revolution of the merits" in Ukraine in 2013-2014. And in the final active part "took" social network through which active workers and greeters collected people, including for the money.

    And as if to confirm the words of Dorsey political "motions" on the Internet, it became known that on the Change.org ( https://www.change.org/p/president-donald-j-trump-ban-george-soros-from-the-united-states-of-america ) website is gaining popularity appeal to US president Donald Trump to deprive of citizenship and deport billionaire George Soros, sponsor protests and demonstrations already on American soil.

    Everyone understands that the protest against the legally elected president of Trump - is either crazy or criminals. Or paid underdeveloped rascals..... But!.....With such protests usually begins a civil war.

    Are you ready for a civil war? What do you think about it?

    There will be no civil war, it would have been quite possible if HRC got elected, dare I say.

    Aren't there enough of coverage of Ukrainian and Syrian Civil Wars on Russian TV? If a civil war starts in the US, Putin and his thugs will keep on robbing poor Russians blinded with "awesome" news for a few more decades. Russians will stop working, if civil war in The US starts. There will be TV sets set by the government in every corner of Russia for people to enjoy their miserable lives by watching that others suffer more.

    Doubtful that would have been true either. It would take widespread worker discontent and refusal/inability to work to cause a civil war. Nobody is going to following a bunch of deadbeat thugs or old white guys screaming about their original intent memes being proof of something.

    I seem to remember in the last Arab Spring we lost our ambassador to Libya and 4 security personnel. I hope this one ends peacefully.

    I hope you aren't under the impression that an infantile group of street protestors are going to induce a civil war. There are 2 primary elements that both need to be in disagreement for a civil war, currently these elements are in agreement and are aligned enough under Trump. Dare I say this would not have been the case if HRC was elected. The Democrats have a snowflakes chance in hell to seriously derail the Trump presidency. Perhaps if the Democrats focused on looking after their constituents and trying to help people in their own electorates, they would actually be doing something useful.

    Anarchism is not chaos - it is where the world is going to. By 2500 or 2600 year races will mix, people will speak the same language, states will be abandoned and cities or municipalites, megapolicies will become states. I'm an anarchist, I can tell you more how the world will look like, if you are interested, though we won't see it.

    Whatever. It'll just be a repeat of the election. We'll win so much that we'll get tired of winning, if that's possible.

    replacing the state with cities isn't very voluntary. It is calling aqua green instead of blue.

    States will fall apart naturally themselves, because the smaller community is, the easier for a government to satisfy interests of the electorat. Anarchism is absence of government. Actually, our technology is already on the level of implementing direct democracy by now, 2017. It is only elites and monopolies who are against the term "direct democracy" as they do not want to lose their power.

    We are not a Democracy. We are a Republic.

    There is a difference.

    Actually in most places it is harder for the local community to satisfy the needs of the electorate because they are limited in their ability to fund themselves. Nice dream though.

    I'm speaking about countries as states, lol! For me as anarchist, the country is America, the state is a White House, a Senate. Or the country is England, the state is a Parliament. The country is Poland, the state is a Seim.

    lol ... Twitter's revenues have dropped like a rock over the last two years; this is just a marketing gimmick attempting to stay 'relevant' and generate buzz and of course, more revenue and money in his own pockets. These phoney gimps and deviants running around manning the rent-a-mobs and spamming the boards with fake news and fake 'outrage' made themselves irrelevant by midnight Nov. 8, 2016. They aren't going to do anything but whine and self-medicate, like the unprincipled bourgeois fashionistas they were raised to be.

    All civil wars begin with protests.

    You are not right. Russian - very clever people. Therefore, they do not want a civil war in the United States. Because they understand - a civil war in a country with nuclear weapons - it is dangerous for the whole world. Also - the Civil War - the collapse of the economy in the country. The collapse of the economy in the United States - it is bad for the world.

    Besides. Russian - very kind and peace-loving people.
    That the Russian helped Erdogan to remain in power in Turkey. When the crazy American politicians are prepared in Turkish coup.
    I assure you that Russian will give any help to the American people and the legitimately elected President of the USA.

    As well as Russian help to the people of Syria and the legitimately elected president.

    In real life, anarchism is not possible because the man as a social being, can not live without the central government and laws limiting him.
    I read the works of the founders of anarchism. Mikhail Bakunin, Nikolai Baranov, Kropotkin, Robert Black ... etc.
    In short - Anarchists believe that instead of coercive power should be adscititious principle real grassroots initiatives, when people will collectively solve social problems, and individually (without harm to others) their own personal issues.
    But in this and the basic contradiction - of a beautiful theory, and human nature.

    The seven deadly sins of man will not allow to carry out this a beautiful theory.
