In that case, I suppose you also oppose the Civil Rights Movement, considering it too was often violent and had a significant amount of property damage.

I would oppose their methods, not the movement (ideology, cause call it what you want)

But their methods were a result of their material conditions, and resulted in the liberation of Black Americans from segregation. Do you not equally take fault with the white moderates who opposed ending segregation and used disapproval of their methods as rhetoric?

Unfortunately, when protests get extreme, there is inevitably some level of violence, whether that be to people or property. It is the responsibility of the state to prevent it from getting this bad. People don’t just think “hmm, today I will do some violence,” violence erupts as a consequence.

Why can’t the oppressed peacefully get their rights from their oppressors?

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.
