Hardy Merriman, Vice President and Director of Content Development at ICNC, the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict, talks about whether or not nonviolent revolutions challenge the status quo, drawing on American nonviolent history from the 1700s forward.  Merriman then discusses whether or not armed insurgencies or revolutions challenge the status quo, arguing that power imbalances prior to armed insurgency are often simply adopted by new leaders - to the detriment of the people.
