Is the Alliance Evil? (Firefly)

If you're not aggressive, does that mean you cannot reason if your government is/isn't bad? If you could, could you not overthrow them without violent means? Perhaps you could use their treatment against them?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

My thought is that intellectual power could defeat them. Surely history has shown that such great tasks have to be done with brute force, but similarly a great deal of thought goes into using such force. The atomic bomb had to be devised and built before it was deployed, even if it destroyed a massive radius of people and buildings.


Think to Star Wars episodes I-III and Palpatine's rise to power. Surely people fought and died, but the creation of the Empire was actually just Palpatine's carefully planned manipulation of what was already in place. Could he have really accomplished the same ends with physical power alone?

That said, my belief is that with the right planning and reasoning, they could devise a way to overthrow the government without actually engaging in battle.

How ya doing, buddy?

Why'd you have to throw "communist" into your argument.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
