Natasha Lennard argues that it’s harmful to acquiesce to the state’s determinations of violence, while David Cortright writes that violent acts prevent mass resistance movements.
There’s escalating violence being done against the people by the oligarchs and politicians everyday. Poverty is violence, homelessness is violence, dismantling the education system is violence, making education prohibitively expensive is violence, making healthcare dependent on employment is violence, banning women’s reproductive health care access is violence, unaffordable housing is violence, denying healthcare is violence, cost of living extortion for shareholders profit is violence, our system is all violence against the working class. What are we supposed to do say please stop? Our politicians are bought and paid for and They’re not listening. … “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable” JFK
