If you want to stage a revolution, you need a better reason than not liking the political system. Most revolutions fail, and those that happen to succeed often make things worse. You don't need to look too hard for examples. It all sounds very romantic, but most revolutions are ugly, bloody and ultimately futile(particularly in the short term).
If there are legitimate grounds, non-violence is the only viable option. That's very hard to pull off.
You also need the right conditions for such a thing to happen. Those conditions do not exist in Australia and are unlikely to develop anytime soon.
I want a peaceful gradual one over hundreds of years born from education.
But capitalism is inherently violent. It won't listen to reason.
EDIT: make it decades, I want to see it.
