Protest!Sit-ins. Walk-outs. Smashing up the headquarters of a major political party. Chaining yourself to the railings outside your local sweet shop because they changed Marathons to Snickers. How have you stuck it to The Man?

The 8 people who started the NSDAP in Germany would probably disagree.

But againwe're talking about a nation of people suffering one of the most crippling economic depressions in history. Theirs was such an extreme climate that the nations attitude had turned to one of recognising a need for action. The very fact that it was only 8 people who founded the Nazi party and ended up in government just thirteen years later should go some way to illustrating just how fucked up Germany was at that time and how desperate they were to get behind anyone who promised change.
I think in my original post I wasn't particularly explicit in my opinions. Obviously there are times when people rallying together and making a stand works. History has shown that many times. I just think in my lifetime, and in this country, it hasn't. And thats kind of depressing.
