What kind of revolution would you like to fight for and why? Explain in your journals.

I would like to fight for a revolution against war. It is somewhat confusing being that in a revolution usually people fight. However there could be a peaceful revolution where no blood is shed. I would like to fight for this revolution so that the world would not end due to a nuclear war. Also there would be less people dying for some people that can't put aside their difference.
