Notice something different between the two definitions?

Rebellions often fail.

Don't rebel.

Revolt.

Rebellions fail because they are often spontaneous uprisings without a clear goal, little in the way of support, either logistically or among the populace at large.

The "Third Servile War", better known for its leader Spartacus, is a fantastic example of what happens during and after a rebellion.

Revolutions on the other hand have much more long lasting results.

Many of us are members of the "leaderless resistance", and we should all take stock of ourselves, our desires, and goals. We can not easily group together in today's political climate. "Conspiracy" is an easy charge for the authorities to throw out there against any and all of us.

It is my personal opinion that much of the legal activity that has been occurring that abridges out rights, as affirmed and guaranteed by the Bill Of Rights and The Constitution of The United States of America, are designed to keep an effective revolt from materializing. Uprisings and rebellions can be dealt with in brutal fashion and with the complicity of the media at large, largely whitewashed and made to go away. Just ask Janet Reno.

A wide scale revolt would not be so easy to deal with as overwhelming force would not be able to brought to bear on problem areas. It is a simple issue of numbers. We outnumber them, and they can not take the risk of indiscriminately firing on everyone, for it will serve rather than to intimidate but anger parties who may have been content to sit on the sideline.

However, we can network within our own social circles.

We can also employ the clandestine cell system for growing the organization and coordinating efforts among separated groups. This system is in use by organizations wanting to minimize the effects of penetration by law enforcement or other opposing forces.
