My conclusion is that only constant, strategic non-violent and also violent struggle will lead to social systems on a permanent higher order of social justice. 5/x

While in theory large peaceful acts of protests (NVDA), can change political systems, it will be rare and short periods in history, and the rich and powerful will reorganize after that (eg, 13th amendment abolishing black slavery except for prisoners, leading to mass imprisonment of blacks). 4/x

Only in situations of extreme structural unjustice and Robin-Hood-like act of goodness, which break the law, the propaganda and gaslighting by the rich and powerful class becomes all too obvious. 3/x

If the poor and powerless fight back, they often have no other means as physical, violent resistance with their own bodies. However, this makes it easy for the evil people in power to frame the poor and powerless as the "bad" people. 2/x
