RE: Why I Don’t Believe Peaceful Protests Work Without A Fear Of Possible Violence

in #anarchy8 years ago

Polititions also fear being voted out of office. The black panthers rose to power after the civil rights act and the voting rights act were signed into law. I find it a noteworthy part of our history that we avoided a lot of socially motivated violence, Americans tend to protest and vote to get the changes they want, I'm certainly not an anarchist. Politically I'm liberal but on a deeper level I'm a conservative because its my instinct to work within the system rather than wanting to see that system burned down. I think when judging by say fifty year incriments, American society is getting better, not worse, and that satisfies me.
