[ExI] ccp struggles

[William Flynn Wallace]

Spike, I was not thinking of governments killing their citizens.  And you
are making a big assumption by saying that if those people were armed Mao's
rule would have been much different - ditto Stalin, ditto Pol Pot etc.

I need an example of citizens who rose up and with arms stopped a
government from harassing its citizens.  People are like sheep, mostly.
