#137 How to Overthrow a Dictator | Srdja Popovic

Got a dictator? Looking to overthrow him/her? In this episode, we talk with a man who’s been training activists to do just that. From his start as young activist raging against the machine of Slobodan Milošević in Serbia, he's become an internationally recognized organizer. He steps us through the essentials of a successful movement, shares inspiring and humorous stories from his background, and gives his opinion on what went right and what went wrong in Hong Kong. His name is Srdja Popovic, and he's the cofounder of the Centre for Applied Nonviolent Action and Strategies (CANVAS), as well as the author of Blueprint for Revolution.

10:01 ouch Americans, it hurts to be on a list with India, Brazil and Philippines as "the place where democracy is threatened by democracy"...but be honest and humble enough to realize this is the reality of where we find ourselves - learn, prepare, act. Popvic may be the voice we need right now.

America needs Srdja Popovic, now that it's officially authoritarian.
