culture of war

There is a rich tradition of revolutionary movements, but they have been organized along the lines of the culture of war: violent and secretive with authoritarian decision-making. Such organization cannot produce a culture of peace.

A revolutionary movement for a culture of peace would have to adhere to all the principles of the culture of peace, including nonviolence, the free flow of information and democratic decision-making.

At this point we are on the frontiers of history, as there is not much precedent for a revolutionary movement like this.
