If one can, in fact, actually effect true change through universal suffrage
and the electoral process, than that is indeed the correct route,
especially in a so-called "enlightened" democracy. But when the
disenfranchised are left with no other option, there are some things worth
blowing up a building over.

America's founding fathers were all traitors to the Crown. Remember that
the only difference between a freedom fighter and a terrorist is whose side
you are on. I'm talking about true oppression here -- not your standard
Republican vs. Democrat, special-interest, entitlement crap. Passive
resistance, although quaint, is a crock of sh*t and flies in the face of
morality.

I defer to Thomas Jefferson:

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants."

Don't fool yourself into thinking it can't happen again.
