Two Roads Before the Gen Z Revolution: Nepal’s Defining Moment
The Gen Z Revolution in Nepal stands at a historic crossroads. The movement that began with courage, sacrifice, and a demand for a corruption-free nation must now decide its next steps with strategic clarity. There are two distinct paths ahead—the revolutionary path and the electoral path—each holding the potential to redefine Nepal’s political destiny.
I. The Revolutionary Path: A Nation’s Call for Renewal
The revolutionary path envisions not chaos, but disciplined organization and moral clarity. It begins with the rapid formation of a national and global structure, built through a decentralized democratic process known as the 11-11-11-11-11 model.
The 11-11-11-11-11 Framework
This model is both simple and profound.
Eleven people unite locally and unanimously elect one leader among them.
Eleven such elected individuals then meet—physically or virtually—to elect another leader.
This process continues five levels up, creating a self-organizing, transparent, and legitimate hierarchy of leadership that remains accountable to the base.
In just weeks, this model could produce a vertically integrated national organization—from villages to the global Nepali diaspora—without the chaos of traditional political infighting.
II. The Strategy: From Organization to Action
Once the organization is in place, it must formally inform the Sushila Karki interim government and request cooperation from the Home Ministry and the police for peaceful action. The goal is not confrontation but constructive revolution.
A one-day nationwide Nepal Bandh could be organized—not as an act of defiance, but as a symbolic request movement. Processions in every village, town, and city would convey one unified message:
“We, the people of Nepal, request Sushila Karki and Ram Chandra Poudel to step aside for the establishment of a revolutionary interim government.”
This is not a rebellion. It is a mass appeal for peaceful transition.
III. The Revolutionary Interim Constitution
The foundation of the new Nepal must be rooted in law. A model Interim Constitution, available at democracyfornepal.com, can serve as a template. It outlines how to transform the nation into a corruption-free, meritocratic, and digitally transparent state.
Under this proposal:
The Chairperson of the Kalkiism Research Center would lead the interim government, as it is the only institution that has articulated a detailed “vaccine against corruption.”
The existing Home Minister and essential cabinet members could continue for continuity.
General elections would be held within one year to establish a permanent government under the new constitutional framework.
This path would not discard the revolution’s energy but channel it into institution building.
IV. The Electoral Path: Justice Before Ballots
Nepal’s current trajectory, however, leans toward elections. The electoral path can still uphold the spirit of the Gen Z Revolution—but only if justice comes first.
The revolution was not fought to merely reshuffle politicians; it was fought to eradicate corruption and impunity. For the electoral process to be meaningful:
Accountability must precede elections.
Former Prime Minister KP Oli, who served as Home Minister during the massacre, must face prosecution. Senior police officials who issued unlawful orders must be held accountable.
The anti-corruption institutions must be reactivated, independent, and fearless.
The CIAA, the Special Court, and the National Vigilance Center must act under public scrutiny to bring to justice corrupt figures from all major parties.
The Home Minister must deliver tangible results before the elections—through arrests, investigations, and visible reforms.
Without justice, elections will be a cosmetic exercise.
V. The Political Equation: One Party, One Movement
Once accountability is restored, the movement must unite politically. Fragmentation is the enemy of revolutions.
A single party must carry the Gen Z Revolution’s flag into the elections. The logical step would have been to restructure the Rashtriya Swatantra Party (RSP) around a clean leadership core. There was early optimism when it was suggested that Kulman Ghising might take over as chairperson, with Mayor Balen Shah and Harka Sampang joining forces.
Under such a coalition, RSP could have transformed into the political arm of the revolution.
But when Swarnim Wagle dismissed the idea publicly, the opportunity dissolved. The existing RSP structure—dominated by old internal hierarchies—cannot meet the revolutionary demand of building a corruption-free Nepal.
VI. The New Party: Born from Revolution
This opens the path for a new political party—a true Gen Z party of the 21st century.
This party must be more than a brand. It must be:
Digital-first, with transparent funding through blockchain.
Meritocratic, where positions are earned, not inherited.
Ideologically grounded in the vision of Kalkiism—a blend of economic innovation, spiritual ethics, and social justice.
This new party must partner closely with the Kalkiism Research Center to craft a detailed manifesto for a corruption-free Nepal—one that defines clear laws, digital governance tools, and transparent systems to permanently end graft and nepotism.
VII. The Electoral Mission: A Two-Thirds Mandate
The goal must be ambitious yet necessary: a two-thirds majority in the upcoming elections.
Only such a mandate can amend laws, rewrite constitutional provisions, and transform the governance architecture.
The manifesto should include:
Digital democracy through real-time citizen oversight.
Zero-corruption framework using AI and blockchain auditing.
Free healthcare, education, and justice funded through data and digital taxation.
Job guarantees and state-backed entrepreneurship programs for youth.
Decentralized governance where each province runs a transparent local economy.
A two-thirds victory would make it possible to institutionalize the revolution peacefully, achieving in ballots what might otherwise require blood.
VIII. The Moral Center: Revolution Through Dharma
Whether Nepal chooses the revolutionary path or the electoral path, the essence remains Dharma over power.
The revolution’s strength lies in its moral clarity, not its numbers. The youth who brought change must remain vigilant against the temptations of power.
In a country exhausted by corruption and disillusionment, the Gen Z Revolution can become the world’s first peaceful anti-corruption revolution—a model for the Global South.
IX. The Road Ahead
Nepal’s destiny now hangs between two paths:
Revolutionary Path: Peaceful restructuring through a new interim constitution and government led by the Kalkiism Research Center.
Electoral Path: Justice-driven reform culminating in a new, corruption-free political force.
Both lead to the same destination—a new Nepal, free from corruption, casteism, and chaos, guided by the principles of transparency, merit, and unity.
The revolution’s message is clear:
“The time for halfway measures is over. Either we build a corruption-free Nepal now, or we lose another generation.”
Nepal stands at the threshold of rebirth. The choice is ours.
Launching a Digital-First Party to Win Two-Thirds: a practical playbook for Nepal’s Gen Z
Nepal’s Gen Z already proved that digital tools + street energy can topple a government in days. Now scale that lesson into a political party that can capture a two-thirds mandate in a few months: combine the BJP’s micro-organization playbook (booth committees + “missed calls”) with world-class digital campaigning, global Nepali diaspora fundraising, and ruthless operational discipline. Below is a strategic article + tactical playbook you can deploy immediately.
The simple thesis
Build a party that is the most digitally savvy, locally rooted, and globally funded political machine in Nepali history. Use micro-units at the booth/village level as operational cells, a “missed-call” / low-friction membership funnel to register supporters, and an always-on digital content + WhatsApp mobilization engine to convert supporters into volunteers, donors, and voters. Learn from BJP: missed-call lists scale quickly; booth committees win at ground level; social volunteers seed viral content and direct outreach. (India Today)
Organize like a movement, operate like a campaign
1) Build the skeleton: 11-11 micro-federation + booth cells
Local cell (booth/ward): 11 trusted members → pick 1 unanimously. That 1 joins the next level of 11; repeat to national leadership (your 11-11-11… ladder). This preserves legitimacy and rapid scaling.
Booth committees: every polling-booth area becomes the core operational unit (data collection, volunteer roster, GOTV, local events). The BJP model shows booth-level volunteers are the backbone of turnout and social media seeding. (The Times of India)
Missed-call number(s): a memorable, single number advertised on posters, social, and radio. A missed call = opt-in. The call logs produce verified phone numbers at scale (low friction, high conversion). BJP and other Indian actors have used missed-call drives to capture millions of contacts quickly. (India Today)
Follow-up flow: missed call → auto SMS with verification link → add to WhatsApp/Telegram micro-groups by geography → invite to local booth group and volunteer onboarding.
3) Social + messaging stack (content → distribution → conversion)
Content factory: rapid short video production (30–60s), localized language variations, real stories of victims of corruption, transparent manifesto explainers, and daily “what we did today” microreports.
Distribution: Instagram/Reels, Facebook, X threads, and mass WhatsApp routing via booth volunteers. WhatsApp groups and person-to-person forwarding remain extremely effective for local persuasion (used heavily in India). Use templates, forwardable short vids, and audio clips in Nepali and local dialects. (TIME)
Paid and organic mix: small paid ads to amplify viral content; use lookalike audiences from missed-call lists to reach similar voters.
Turn supporters into an unstoppable machine
4) Volunteer economy & incentives
Micro-tasks: 5–10 minute tasks — share a clip, invite 5 neighbors, register 1 elderly voter, man a stall for 2 hours. Track completion and give digital badges/recognition.
Booth leader KPIs: number of verified supporters, number of active volunteers, GOTV list completeness, small local events held each week. Reward high performers with public recognition and priority in candidate lists.
5) Data & ops: treat every contact as gold
Single voter file (SVF): one canonical, constantly updated database keyed by phone number and geography (missed-call numbers are the seed). Track volunteer status, donation history, event attendance, and persuasion stage.
Rapid analytics: daily dashboards for turnout risk and persuasion gaps at booth level. Push weekly “playbooks” from HQ to booths with exactly what to say and do.
Diaspora: scale money, volunteers, legitimacy
6) Global chapters & fundraising pipeline
Nepali diaspora already sends huge remittances (a major share of GDP) and can be organized into political chapters. Research shows diaspora engagement and remittances are a major financial lever for Nepal. (Taylor & Francis Online)
How to mobilize diaspora fast
Formal diaspora chapters in major cities (Kathmandu’s mirror: London, New York, Melbourne, Delhi, Doha, Hong Kong). Each chapter has a digital organizer and a banked fundraising page.
Crowdfund + subscription model: set up compliant channels — monthly micro-donations (e.g., $5/month), one-time crisis drives, and targeted product sales (print book, membership packages). Offer transparent monthly audits and a public ledger (blockchain receipts optional) to build trust.
Events & mobilization: monthly house-parties, embassy-area demo days, and “phone-bank nights” (volunteers in diaspora call targeted voter segments in Nepal). Use time-zone scheduling to run 24-hour outreach cycles.
Regulatory safety: ensure diaspora fundraising follows Nepali and host-country laws (declare foreign contributions, use registered NGOs/party wings where required). Provide legal counsel upfront.
Three pillars (for media clarity): 1) Zero-tolerance corruption (fast courts + public asset audits), 2) Jobs & digital economy for youth, 3) Free basic health + education financed via transparent digital tax/data revenues.
One concrete promise: e.g., “First 100 days: 50 corruption cases filed + public asset registry online.” Concrete, measurable deliverables cut through cynicism.
8) Credibility engine: audits, transparency, and story-telling
Publish a public daily operations log: funds raised, clinics opened, volunteer hours, arrests/cases tracked (when appropriate). Transparency is a political weapon; use open ledgers and citizen dashboards.
Tactical playbook (60–100 days)
Week 0–2 — Sprint launch
Announce party, publish one-page manifesto and credible leadership list.
Launch missed-call number and social blitz. (India Today)
Recruit first 10,000 missed-call contacts and convert them into WhatsApp micro-groups.
Seed 1k pilot booths with full SVF entries and local micro-events.
Week 7–12 — Scale & persuasion
Scale to full booth coverage (target: 70–80% of booths active).
Push paid micro-targeting in swing districts and run weekly GOTV rehearsals.
Week 13–20 — Finalize GOTV
Aggressive one-to-one persuasion via volunteer phone banks, targeted home visits from booth teams (use missed-call reply scheduling), real-time turnout monitoring on election day.
Tech stack (minimal viable)
CRM / SVF: cloud voter-file with mobile app for booth captains.
Messaging: WhatsApp Business API (for opt-ins), Telegram, SMS gateway.
Analytics: simple BI dashboards (turnout, persuasion, donation conversion).
Payments: international payment processors + Nepali gateways; diaspora pages integrated with KYC and receipts.
Content: short-form video pipeline, templated audio clips, regional language variations.
Organizing culture & compliance
Culture: fast, meritocratic, data-driven, and transparent. Publicly celebrate data-driven local wins (booth of the week).
Compliance: register funding channels, publish monthly audit snapshots, and get legal counsel on cross-border donations. Transparent accounting reduces donor friction and builds long-term trust.
Risks and mitigations
Misinformation & abuse: train volunteers in fact-checking and issue rapid rebuttal units; keep a daily “myth vs fact” bulletin. (TIME)
Surveillance & legal pushback: decentralize operations, use encrypted comms for sensitive coordination, and maintain legal rapid-response teams.
Over-reliance on messaging apps: diversify channels (radio, posters, door-to-door) to reach low-connectivity voters.
Quick wins you can deploy today
Reserve and advertise a single missed-call number and run a 7-day “join” blitz. (India Today)
Recruit 1,000 booth captains and give each a simple SVF mobile form.
Launch 5 diaspora chapters with clear $5/month subscription and publish first-month use plan. (Taylor & Francis Online)
Produce five 30-second videos: manifesto-explainer, corruption story, youth jobs pitch, health pledge, diaspora ask — translate into major Nepali dialects and English.
Final note — power is built, not begged
Two-thirds is won by relentless micro-organization + credible, measurable promises + money that’s traceable and repeatable. Combine the missed-call virality and booth discipline that India’s parties mastered with Nepal’s Gen Z digital creativity and global diaspora resources. If you operationalize this playbook—data first, booths second, diaspora dollars third—you convert the energy of a revolution into a governable, transformational majority.
All written in ready-to-deploy professional style — you can directly use this as your official launch blueprint.

Balen Shah and the Gen Z Revolution: Why Nepal’s Future Demands His Leadership and the Kalkiism Research Center’s Vision
Nepal today stands at the intersection of anger and awakening. The Gen Z Revolution—a spontaneous, fearless uprising led by the nation’s youth—was not merely a political event. It was a generational verdict: a rejection of corruption, chaos, and cynical politics. And if there is one leader who embodies the aspirations of this new Nepal, it is Balen Shah.
The revolution’s moral center is clear. The interim prime minister that the Gen Z generation wanted, the face they trusted to lead the transition, was Balen. Not because of his party, power, or lineage—but because of his integrity, competence, and deep connection with the people.
I. Balen Shah: The People’s Prime Minister-in-Waiting
In every public poll, every social media trend, every street conversation—from Kathmandu to Kailali—one name keeps surfacing: Balen Shah.
He is not just popular; he is authentically Nepali in a way that the establishment has forgotten how to be.
Balen’s rise was no accident. He did not inherit a political dynasty, nor did he climb the greasy ladder of party patronage. His ascent came from merit, performance, and honesty. As Mayor of Kathmandu, he brought a mix of boldness and realism that Nepal’s youth had been starved for. When others spoke in manifestos, he acted in bulldozers.
He is young but decisive, assertive but measured, modern but rooted. His governance model—data-driven, transparent, and unafraid—became the template of what Gen Z wanted from politics.
No other politician in Nepal enjoys such cross-sectional appeal.
The urban middle class trusts his professionalism.
The villagers admire his plainspoken courage.
The youth see him as one of their own.
Even the diaspora regards him as the first credible modern leader Nepal has produced in decades.
When the Gen Z Revolution erupted, calling for a revolutionary interim government and a clean break from the old order, Balen was the undisputed first choice for interim Prime Minister.
That mandate—emerging organically from millions—cannot be ignored.
If it is not channelled into organization and structure, it risks dissolving into frustration. Nepal cannot afford another wasted wave of idealism. The popularity of Balen Shah must now be institutionalized—through a new, digital-first political party that can turn emotion into governance.
II. Turning Popularity into Power: Why Balen Must Chair the New Party
Revolutions succeed when they find a center of gravity. The Gen Z Revolution is no different. It has passion, youth, and technology—but it now needs leadership and direction.
Balen Shah provides precisely that.
He is untainted by corruption.
He has administrative experience at the city level, proving that he can convert ideas into implementation.
He commands the loyalty of Nepal’s young generation, which now forms the majority of the electorate.
And, crucially, he bridges faith and modernity—a technocrat with moral clarity.
He does not represent one caste, one region, or one ideology. He represents the idea of accountability. In a political environment polluted by transactional alliances, he is the only one who can claim moral legitimacy.
Therefore, if a new party is to be formed to embody the demands of the Gen Z Revolution, Balen Shah must be its Chairperson.
The revolution began with idealism. But it can only survive through organization.
And organization must begin with credibility.
Balen’s leadership offers exactly that—a clean, competent, and courageous nucleus around which Nepal’s youth can rally.
III. The Kalkiism Research Center: The Only Organization with a Blueprint for Change
While Balen provides the leadership, the Kalkiism Research Center (KRC) provides the intellectual and policy foundation that the movement needs.
The Gen Z Revolution’s demands—free healthcare, free education, corruption-free governance, job guarantees, cashless economy, and digital transparency—cannot be delivered through emotion alone. They require frameworks, technology, and tested ideas.
The KRC is the only organization in the world that has developed such a comprehensive blueprint for systemic change.
It offers:
A zero-corruption model using AI, blockchain, and citizen audit systems.
A job guarantee mechanism through state-supported digital cooperatives.
A data-based public finance model where revenue transparency is visible to every citizen.
And an economic philosophy of Kalkiism—a fusion of morality, merit, and modern economics designed to uplift the Global South.
The KRC’s approach is not utopian. It is practical, grounded, and Nepali in its soul.
Where others speak in slogans, it speaks in systems.
Where others promise change, it codes it.
The Gen Z Revolution was born in passion. The KRC can give it permanence.
IV. A Historic Partnership: Balen + KRC = The New Nepal
For Nepal to truly enter a new era, leadership and vision must unite.
Balen Shah embodies the people’s energy.
The Kalkiism Research Center embodies the policy engine.
Together, they can deliver what Nepal’s youth are fighting for:
A meritocratic state.
A transparent economy.
A compassionate government.
A nation that rewards integrity, not inheritance.
This alliance is not theoretical—it is inevitable.
The youth in the streets have already chosen their leader: Balen.
And they have already found the only think-tank that speaks their language: the KRC.
The next step is to formalize this partnership into a political vehicle—a New Party built on data, discipline, and dharma.
Its manifesto must not be borrowed from old ideologies. It must be written in the digital ink of the 21st century.
And for that, it must be co-authored by the Kalkiism Research Center.
V. Conclusion: The Time to Act Is Now
Nepal is not short of leaders. It is short of vision and courage.
The Gen Z Revolution has provided the courage.
The KRC provides the vision.
Balen Shah provides the face and the faith.
Together, they can build the first political party in Nepal’s history that truly belongs to the people, powered by transparency, technology, and trust.
This is not the time for hesitation.
This is the time to turn Balen’s unmatched popularity into a movement that remakes Nepal.
If the revolution has a leader, it is him.
If it has a blueprint, it is the Kalkiism Research Center.
And if it has a moment, it is now.
Act with Resolve: How the Home Minister Can Secure Justice, Crush Corruption and Enable a Balen-Led Renewal
Nepal faces a moral and political inflection point. The streets have spoken. The Gen-Z Revolution has exposed a crisis of credibility at the top of the political system and replaced public apathy with a renewed thirst for justice. The interim Home Minister now stands at the centre of this moment. With courage, strategy and strict adherence to the rule of law, the ministry can convert popular momentum into durable reform — enabling a credible transition in which a Balen-led political force can sweep to power and the entrenched corrupt parties are finally consigned to history’s margins.
This is not about vengeance. It is about accountability, institutional repair and restoring the social contract between state and citizen. Below is a practical roadmap for how the Home Minister should proceed, why a Balen-led party is positioned to win big, and how to ensure justice for the victims — lawfully, transparently and irrevocably.
1. Act with confidence — lead investigations, not headlines
The Home Ministry must move from reactive statements to forensic action. That requires:
Immediate, independent inquiries. Commission multi-layered investigations (criminal, administrative, and human-rights) led by independent prosecutors and overseen by an impartial panel including civil society and international observers.
A single command of facts. Create a consolidated investigatory secretariat that aggregates police files, CCTV, medical reports and witness statements so cases aren’t fragmented across agencies.
Transparent milestones. Publish a public timeline of investigative milestones and expected next steps to restore faith in process and avoid rumor-driven vigilantism.
Confidence comes from capability. The ministry must show it can produce evidence, make arrests when warranted, and present cases that will withstand judicial scrutiny.
2. Prosecute — but within the rule of law
Public anger is legitimate; summary punishment is not. If the goal is justice rather than cycles of retribution, prosecutions must be rigorous:
Criminal indictments should proceed where evidence supports them. Charge and try those credibly implicated, from the chain-of-command officers to civilian officials who ordered or enabled repression.
Specialized tribunals or fast-track courts may be necessary for complex, high-profile cases — but they must meet international fair-trial standards.
Witness protection and legal aid. Offer secure protection and trauma-informed support to witnesses and victims’ families. Fund independent legal counsel for indigent defendants to preserve legitimacy.
This path ensures convictions are legitimate, sustainable and able to survive appeals — unlike extrajudicial measures that leave societies fractured and unresolved.
3. Go beyond arrests — use every tool to hold the corrupt to account
Criminal trials are necessary but not sufficient. The state must use the full toolbox:
Asset freezes & recovery. Immediately freeze assets suspected to be proceeds of corruption, domestically and via international cooperation. Launch recovery actions and repurpose recovered assets for victim compensation and public services.
Administrative sanctions. Remove and vet public officials implicated in abuse or gross negligence; bar them from public office.
Civil remedies and reparations. Create mechanisms for compensation to victims’ families, funded by frozen assets and emergency appropriations.
Holding “hundreds” to account is an operational challenge — but it’s politically indispensable if the new order is to be durable.
4. Reform institutions that enabled impunity
The massacre revealed systemic failures. Address them now:
Police reform: depoliticize command structures, introduce transparent use-of-force rules, and create independent oversight with subpoena power.
Anti-corruption institutions: strengthen the mandates, independence and forensic capacities of agencies like the anti-corruption commission and financial intelligence unit.
Judicial capacity building: expand prosecutors’ and judges’ ability to try complex corruption and human-rights cases quickly and fairly.
Institutional change prevents recurrence. Tough prosecutions without reform are a bandage on a deep wound.
5. Safety, order and non-reprisal politics
The interim Home Minister must balance assertive action with civic calm:
Avoid heavy-handed security responses that replicate past abuses. Use proportional, transparent policing and prioritize de-escalation.
Prosecute all crimes equally. If opposition figures committed abuses, they too must be investigated — impartiality builds long-term legitimacy.
Public communications. Use daily, factual briefings to prevent misinformation and to show the ministry acts lawfully and evenhandedly.
Security that respects rights strengthens rather than weakens the state.
6. Why a Balen-led party is poised to win — and why that matters
The political ground has shifted. A Balen-led political force is uniquely positioned to translate the street’s moral authority into institutional power:
Mass legitimacy. Balen’s reputation for competence and integrity resonates across urban and rural divides, especially with younger voters.
Digital organizational capacity. The Gen-Z movement’s digital infrastructure can be converted into an electoral machine: local booth networks, targeted outreach, and diaspora mobilisation.
A clean break with the past. Voters seeking decisive reform will prefer a credible new formation that can deliver prosecutions, institutional reform and a new social contract.
A party that wins a decisive mandate can implement systemic reforms — constitutional amendments, judicial reforms, and re-design of anti-corruption architecture — that piecemeal majorities cannot.
7. Build a manifesto of justice and renewal — not revenge
For voters to entrust a two-thirds majority, the party must offer a program — not merely catharsis:
A justice and accountability plan with timelines for investigations, prosecutions and institutional reform.
Transitional justice mechanism (truth-seeking, reparations, vetting) to promote societal healing.
Economic and social guarantees that tackle the grievances which fuel instability — jobs, health, education, and transparent public finance.
This is the difference between a mandate that changes laws and a mandate that unleashes retribution.
8. Invite international support — without surrendering sovereignty
Complex prosecutions and asset recoveries often require cross-border cooperation:
Mutual legal assistance to trace assets and obtain testimony.
Technical support from UN human-rights bodies or international forensic teams for high-profile investigations.
Election monitoring to legitimize the political transition and reduce the risk of contested results.
International partners can help build capacity while the political leadership remains accountable to Nepali citizens.
9. Civic restitution and national healing
Justice must be accompanied by repair:
Memorialization and truth-telling. Official recognition of victims and public memorials.
Community restitution programs. Economic packages targeted at the affected communities to rebuild livelihoods.
Education and civic campaigns that rebuild trust in state institutions through transparency and civic participation.
Healing is a societal project; prosecutions are only one necessary element.
Conclusion — act decisively, act lawfully
The Home Minister stands at a moment when prudent courage can reorder Nepali politics for a generation. A bold, transparent, and legal approach to accountability will:
Demonstrate that no one is above the law;
Enable the electorate to trust a new political formation to govern; and
Allow a Balen-led political project to win the decisive mandate necessary for systemic reform.
The corrupt must be held to account — not through extrajudicial violence, but by the instruments of law that make justice real and sustainable. If the Home Minister acts with competence, independence and fairness, the result will be a politics that finally puts the people — not the powerful — at the centre.
Nepal’s future will not be made by vengeance. It will be made by institutions that deliver justice, by leaders who respect the rule of law, and by citizens who insist that power be both earned and accountable.
