Well current "world order" arose from the fact that information technology gave everyone equal voice. Sounds wonderful at first, but turns out society has limited input bandwidth and intellectual voices were drowned out by nonsensical babble.
Large set of solar flares that fry all electronics? That would cause a lot of suffering for a while, but maybe it would stop humanity from driving of the cliff with a big stupid grin no it's face.
The shortest path to revolution is simply the truth. As all unjust forms of power is undermined by it.
Nature says: IF you want the current regime ( in any ecology! ) displaced,
THEN displace it!
Don't like Facebook's monopoly? Displace it.
Don't like political-parties' railroading our world into ideological cuckery?
Displace it!
Etc.
For effectiveness, it'd require leaders, which the anarchists prohibit from their world, so they're not going to help displace the organized-idiocy.
Communist & fascist imperialism will do EVERYTHING IT CAN to break any threat to their eventual-totalitarian-world-dominion.
Concentration-of-wealth-archy/oligarchy won't tolerate any such thing, either.
& worst is the rude fact that as people's contexts change, THEY change, so it has to be lead by people who've earned self-conquering, who aren't malleable in principles or integrity, no matter how much force they are plied with, or how relentlessly they are plied with that force.
The people who felt class-elevated to be hobnobbing with Epstein kept their mouths shut when they shouldn't have, simply because they'd be knocked lower down the social-status-hierarchy if they broke-ranks, & that social-pressure was sufficient to protect the entire Epstein-Class for decades.
That mechanism is in all of us.
It can be broken, through years of relentless pushing oneself into facing-karma, & breaking one's unconscious-mind's ignorance-dominion on one's life.
Just identifying some of the key forces/factors that have to be dealt-with, in order for global-grass-roots-revolution to work, among the populations who are educated well/correctly enough to value critical-thinking.
In all the regions where education did what Leninism & Fox do, prevent that ( remember how the Republicans eradicated critical-thinking from all their territory after Trump won his 2nd term? ) .. thos regions are no-longer recoverable, in WW3's next 6-decades.
One has to accept that only a fraction of humankind will fight-off ideology-displacing-reason, & that saving the rest, thanks to education, isn't possible.
Basic principle that Sunzi/Sun Tzu/Master Sun identified, 2.5 millenia ago: IF one is outnumbered, either defend, if one is strong, or evade, if one is weak.
Critical-reasoning is, globally, weak.
We either deal-with-that XOR we hand victory to the ideologues.
