"Although Norwegians may not tell you about this the first time you meet them, the fact remains that their society’s high level of freedom and broadly-shared prosperity began when workers and farmers, along with middle class allies, waged a nonviolent struggle that empowered the people to govern for the common good."

This is a history I certainly haven't heard before.  Time to study up!  If it can happen in other countries, perhaps it can happen in the US?
