May have asked this already but violence at anti-capitalist gatherings – isn it just counter productive?
Violence at demonstrations is very counter-productive when it’s by the police, or other authorities. But violence by demonstrators often works as we see by the actions of terrorists throughout the world. In principle, I don’t agree with violence, but we’re living by their rules and it’s all that we know (to quote Ian Curtis). I don’t believe violence necessarily lessens us as human beings. Limited violence has always been the way of the world. My only big problem is with Unlimited Violence.
