Regime change.

The Cambridge dictionary of English has provided the following definition of "regime change":-

"A COMPLETE CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT, especially one brought about by FORCE"

Consequently, a situation of regime change could entail the massive use of violence to kill as many people as possible who might advocate the policies of the Old regime.

All those who are sympathetic towards the Old regime should be killed, but not only the political establishment.

True or false?

False -- though rounding up the usual suspects: teachers, intellectuals, poets, artists, &c often accompanies regime changes.
This may be related to the paranoia of the new leadership.

You can exert violence without killing people.
You can also enact regime change without exerting violence or killing people.

The bankrupt compassionless morality of some people and yet they wonder why the rest of the world is prepared to fight tooth and nail to prevent them taking it over.

Hang on...... There are 'Bible Churches' out there that promote the idea of a New American Constitution, a Theonomy, with Judges a police and military force with some basic infrastructure but no social services. They have cherry picked their laws from the Old Testament and believe in public whippings, hangings and other kinds of execution like stoning...... convicts as young as 5 can be executed for various crimes.

Are you talking about such groups? I hesitate to ask whether you belong to any?
........Denver springs to mind, although I cannot quite grasp why that might be.

Hi Dan....... this might not be a wind-up. There really are Churches out there that hope for an overthrow of the US Constitution, bringing in chosen OT laws, offering no social services, and effecting a crazy kind of government. They definitely believev in violence.
If you want any links then I can only show you by private message.

From what I've read, the PRC might have had been a hair's breadth away from a regime changing event with the Tiananmen Square protests. There were important figures in the party who supported the protests, and had they had their say, this might have created a situation where the communist government could have genuinely softened towards political reforms (rather than limiting reformism solely to the economic sphere, as Deng Xiaoping had done historically).

Unfortunately, the regime decided to not only crack down on these protests with overwhelming force, but also to forcibly remove anyone from power who had supported the protester's call for reforms. Over time, seeing the USSR collapse under the pressure of democratic change, the CPC became more and more convinced that they had made the right choice, and consequentially blamed Gorbachev and his "stupid decision" to allow for contrary political forces for the collapse. Since then, political dissent has been mostly confined to backrooms within the CPC, rather than being carried out in the open, and with the apparent success of the economic reforms, actual pro-democratic forces within the regime seem to have almost completely died out.

However, I believe that the CPC regime can still be removed by all out foreign invasion of the PRC in order to remove the people who're in power.

As attested by the recent events in China, US and the UK, which have served to demonstrate that any country can still be invaded given the right circumstances and weapons of mass destruction to accomplish such a task.

Most of the political and military establishment in all three countries have been obliterated (or killed) by God's "mighty angels", a spiritual and supernatural army, which are clearly mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 1:7 and Revelation 19:14.

Despite the modern system of global and international security the aforementioned has served to demonstrate that any country can still be conquered, invaded and subjugated for the purpose of regime change and economic exploitation.

Ultimately, the aforementioned recent events are readily confirmed by Western Intelligence, which is Classified information shared by many countries who are supposedly allied.

There are many types of crazy nuts in the USA. It does not mean they will ever gain support.
There is a saying in my country, "mix with the swine, then you will become one also.

There is fortunately something such as intellect and common sense in everyone's conscience.
Only the very low IQ will adhere to such illogical stupid ideologies.
As the IQ of the individual rises from idiots to average 105, these ideologies gets scrutinised and the individual rejects such sillyness, and joins a more individualistic environment, where they are silent about the foolishness of others, and continues to grow richer in theis mental capabilities.
Thats why stupid people suffer, and the intellectual succeeds.

Not nescesarily in monatary terms, but in many other ways, such as being able to stand on their own, and to never have to ask the goverment for assistance.
I see in America it shows that at least 20% of the population has an IQ less than 86, which means the rest are above 105.

In the history of the world, it was always the low IQ population that went out to commit genocide.
Anyhow, I dont think changing a government means war per se, the USA does that quite often.

But on the other hand, Marxism is a very real threat to everyone in the West, despite not having been relevant to the world stage for 30 years.

But who are the swine?
The Hitlers, Stalins, etc were quite bright.
I suppose that the rightists point at the Leftists, and the leftists at the rightists.
A bit tribal.

Intellect does not equate with conscience, sadly.
And more intellectuals commit suicide which suggests that IQ can suffer more than simplicity.

Just a second........ If you want to live in a civilised country then the disabled must be supported. Disability can show itself in many ways, both physical, mental and intellectual. You must look after disability.
All of you ask your government for assistance, in all kinds of ways.
People who think that they don't need a government that provides care for all are proabably the idiots.

No Huguenot.
If 20% of the population has an IQ of less than 86, this means that the rest are above 86%.
I think you got that wrong. That would make a good question in an IQ test.

In the history of the world, it was always the low IQ population that went out to commit genocide.

No......... Hitler was rather bright.......
