Yes, Ghandi accomplished that.

I don't think it would have any legs. It might start off o.k. but end before anything was accomplished..You would always have the "cheater" element..they might suck you in and then turn on you..set you up. I think a true revolution is borne in great pain..I think it is something one becomes passionate about and in that passion violence may be the result! :(

The Berlin Wall came down without any people being injured or killed. That was pretty much of a revolution.

I suppose the simplest thing is if all the poor, oppressed left the country so those left behind had to do their own work for a change. And on the subject of leaving the country, would it be possible to simply travel the world instead of being a refugee to one country? (So many people are sick of refugees but they like tourists! I know it ain't easy but it is a thought.)

Look at the civil rights movement. While it was met with violence, the men and women who brought about the revolution were peaceful.

Hopefully Burma can show us sometime soon.
-
Of course; it's happened several times already...
-
Perhaps, the Green Revolution against Genetically Modified Foods/Organisms. Although, I do know the Civil Rights Movement lead by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. WAS a non-violent revolution.
-
Yes..Just need enough dedicated people.

What are we waiting for?
-
Well seeing as there is no longer apartheid and african americans have rights, I would say so.
-
Yes of course, contrary to what one or two people here have written there have been several non violent revolutions that have succeeded.
-
They do
-
Hopefully that is what is happening in Zimbabwe.
-
No. There is always some sort of violence in every revolution.
-
it could start out non violent, but it would escalate into violence. the troops would show up. martial law would happen. people would start tipping over cars. it could get nasty.

Yeah - it's called (social) "evolution"! ;-)
