    IMO the plan would be a complete rewrite of the political system. It’s clear that the current system is based purely on the honorsystem, and needs to be redone in a way that rewards multiple parties, with actual consequenses for the capitalowners whenever they commit a crime.

    A revolution doesn’t have to end in just one ruling party or idealogy. It also doesn’t have to end with killing all republicans. The denazifying of Germany didn’t mean everyone who had supported the nazi party had to be killed. A lot of ressources were focused on reeducation instead, and so far, it seems to have worked really well. The hardliners who directly helped the fascists will obviously have to be punished for treason against the country’s democratic foundation, but that doesn’t mean everyone who voted for Trump has to be punished. Most people are just ignorant, brainwashed and scared, because they’ve been pumped full with disinformation for the last 50 years.

    But the absolutely most important part of all this, is to remove the system that rewards corrupt politicians. If a politician is openly corrupt, openly works to undermine their voters’ interests, they’re still more likely to get reelected than be replaced, because the party decides who gets to run, and the voting options are so few, and when people are brainwashed like they are, they’d rather vote against their own interest, than vote for their percieved enemy. So how do you get rid of that?

    1. Remove the overwhelming power from media that spreads disinformation by forcibly shutting it down, prosecuting the people in charge and the owners.
    2. Reward multiple parties by reworking how many votes you need to be voted in, and drastically expanding representation. There are 100 senators. Norway has 169 elected officials in their “Stortinget” for their 5.52 million people. That’s 32662 people pr official compared to the USA’s 3,401,000 people pr senator. How this will work, I don’t know, but I’m sure we can find some welleducated political scientists who can figure out a way.
    3. Fund smaller parties and set up debates that focus on inviting these smaller parties to give them a platform. In order to get funded and invited, you need a certain amount of signatures from potential voters. I’m not sure about the exact amount of signatures, but for the sake of arguement, let’s say half the amount of votes you’d need to get elected. This way smaller parties are guarenteed a platform to reach the voters.

    I’m not going to write a whole manifesto here, so I’m going to stop here, but my point is, that this can absolutely end without rounding up anyone who doesn’t agree, and it can be fixed, but it needs a complete overhaul of the incredibly broken system in the USA, and it absolutely also needs hard punishment for the people who directly aided in the rise of fascism.

      Then you see the real issue which is not that there are fascists in our society, in a liberal society those will always exist one way or another. The bigger issue is the bipartisan system. But I don’t think we need violence to get what you want. You need democrats that are not just corporate puppets. But the dems talk big about changing things and as soon as they get in power they work real hard to maintain the status quo.
