Ooops. Conversation aborted. I can't imagine any set of circumstances, no matter how bizarred, that would give substantial space on the mass media to the building of a mass (i.e., non-elecotoral) movement. It would be much easier to overthrow the state than to (a) get enough time on mass media to organize mass demonstrations and (b) get anyone to listen to you if you were on TV. This is mere fantasia.

Sorry.
