According to Osho, rebellion has not yet happened in the world; what we’ve seen is revolution misnamed as rebellion. Revolution copies the old order’s violent tactics—only more powerfully—so it inevitably makes things worse. Those who seize power through violence cannot suddenly become nonviolent; their success conditions them to cruelty, which then breeds inner power struggles and, ultimately, even harsher dictatorships, as in Stalin’s rise.
We haven’t truly tried rebellion; we’ve only done revolutions that copy the same violence, making things worse and creating new tyrants.
