    The important bit is how you fight back. Anyone can stick a rag in a bottle of vodka and light it on fire, but that doesn’t really solve anything. It creates opportunities, but unless we have some kind of plan already in place for how to create a new democracy from the ashes of the old rotten one, some Neo-Napoleon will be happy to step in and create an autocracy in its place.

    The power is in organization and understanding, not the tip of a bayonet.

        You also don’t stick the rag in, you wrap it around the top and make sure your bottle is capped.

        The goal is to get the container to shatter on impact and then the burning material wrapped around it ignites.

        If you stuff a rag in that’s how you set yourself on fire by accident. Here’s a solid design, just for informational purposes only, of course:
