In "Blueprint for Revolution," Srdja Popovic outlines his philosophy for implementing peaceful changes in the world and provides a model for activists everywhere through stories of his own experiences in the nonviolent overthrow of dictatorships, as well as smaller examples of social change, such as Occupy Wall Street and the fight for LGBTQ rights or changes in urban planning. Using examples like the use of laughter and music, as seen with Pussy Riot, to disarm the opposition and gain supporters, a protest action with Lego figures in Siberia when real people would have been shot, and a boycott of cottage cheese in Israel to challenge price increases while organizing for rice pudding to topple the dictator of the Maldives, Popovic presents true and sometimes incredibly clever examples of how nonviolent resistance has achieved its goals. Popovic advocates for nonviolent resistance not for ideological reasons.
