I Can't Believe it's Not Murder!

[Osterbaum]

Two wrongs don't make a right, were you ever taught that? Violence breeds violence, etc etc, but seriously for a moment, the answer isn't chaos. In a riot, people who aren't involved get hurt and property gets damaged. Racial hate does not need to be answered by chaos. If they were planning a protest, I wouldn't give two shits, but stating intent to riot over a hate crime is insanity.

Non-violence for the sake of nonviolence or some sort of perceived liberal or middle-class ideal is ineffective. What get's results is a diversity of tactics and strict non-violence is often a way for certain people to monopolize the power in a movement and render the movement essentially ineffectual.

How Nonviolence Protects the State is an anarchist text, but is an informative and interesting piece regardless of if you subscribe to anarchist ideas or not.
