Rebellion

The only rebellion that is needed is the rebellion against the mind made sense of 'me', the ego!

No other form of rebellion (like rebelling against any other ism, rebelling against sexual repression, rebelling against money etc are not absolutely needed). It is completely possible for some of these to enable the rebellion against the 'me'. But, the focus is on the rebellion against the 'me' because it is the actual need that gives raise to the other partial needs. Any partial rebellion is on a slippery slope and is bound to degrade. Many times such partial rebellion end up causing more violence than the causes they set out to rebel against (like maoism, for e.g.). Hence, the rebellion against the 'me' is the fundamental rebellion that is needed if a violence free human society is to be dreamed about!
