It's interesting that Trump's sexual assaults don't concern Trump supporters but a woman expressing an opinion sends them into a fit of name calling. If Trump's attacks on women do not require universal condemnation then neither should that assault on the neo-nazi who supports him.

Sorry I'm through with arguing with detracting cowards.

Call us what you want,you words fall on deaf ears.

Where is the evidence of this? This election was an almost unblemished victory for white supremacy, unchecked capitalism, fascism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia (and xenophobia more broadly), climate change denial, etc. It is completely likely that we will see executive orders and legislation over the next 100 days that roll back so many of the rights that have been fought for over generations. The number of black people killed by police has been increasing in recent years while we are in one of the safest moments in history FOR police. Those in power have more powerful weaponry than ever before AND a more terrifying and all-encompassing surveillance apparatus. Wealth is more concentrated now than it has been in at least 100 years and maybe even longer.

In what way is the system eating itself? Because it sure looks like it's devouring us.

Although I am not a pacifist and I disagree with your statement, I nonetheless think that what you wrote is important to consider as more and more formerly inactive people flirt with struggle.

Bayard Rustin, a significant civil rights organizer and vital advisor to MLK, once insisted that violence, amongst other reasons, was foolish because the state has tanks and the people would be crushed in open struggle. Again, I disagree with this argument, but as we build a mass movement we have to consider the actual reach and capacity of our power.

I don't think we can ever fully predict the outcome of a major struggle, no matter how asymmetrical. That is why I believe violence is sometimes a proper tool - or perhaps an act of self defence, which is tragically becoming more necessary. We cannot categorically discard a tool that may very well save the lives of the oppressed.

But that being said we as radicals must open spaces for this discussion. Although I believe that violence is sometimes necessary, I also believe that it should always be concidered carefully, and I therefore welcome the well reasoned arguments of pacifists.

There is a place for violence and destruction and a place for peaceful resistance. I'm of the opinion neither would work completely without the other.

You do realize that the reason as to why nonviolent movements such as the Civil Rights Movement and the Indian Independence Movement succeeded specifically because of the threat of violence that these movements posed, right? In regards to the former, for example, one of the major reasons as to why the movement succeeded was because many noticed and became increasingly worried by the rise of radical groups such as the Black Panthers and various Communist groups.

First, we weren't protesting against anyone who could be a future ally. Second, the other side does the same shit, but that's not why we hate them, we hate their ideology and unjust use of their actions

Death to the fascists!

fuck Bill Clinton too!

You still shouldn't excuse Clinton's assaults.
