Since WWII is the greatest tragedy in human history, entire libraries have been written analyzing the historic events and how and why it came to happen. Not interested in these or treatises about what constitutes one, but rather if there are any books that delve into active strategies to counter a possible resurgence of such regimes in the future.

I’ve been collecting resistence materials since the day after the election.
I’ve also enrolled in a college sociology course on civic engagement.
I’m buying multiple copies of Eric Liu’s You’re More Powerful Than You Think, hoping to get a reading group going in my community. It’s both philosophical and practical.
Also, witty posts like this:

Also tending to have this kind of conversation on encrypted apps

The classic author on nonviolent resistance and regime change is Gene Sharp. I haven't read much of him, but his most famous work is From Dictatorship to Democracy
Intellectually, Sharp is considered the big guns when it comes to the theory and practice of overthrowing tyrants.

>2 2wonderY: >3 davidgn: Thanks. Especially for pointing me to Gene Sharp. Waging Nonviolent Struggle also sounds very useful
