[news] Violence and Our Revolution

[Resist!ca]

The non-violence edict of the current antiwar/anti-Bush movement is a joke. In a time of war the State will use all means to suppress opposition. Lincoln did it during the Civil War, Wilson did it during World War II, Roosevelt did it during World War II, etc. Antiwar/anti-Bush demonstrations are usually surrounded by riot cops and then attacked, without provocation, with chemical agents and batons. Violence, in most cases, does create more violence, as seen in Bush's many crusades. Yet, when the violence is against the oppressive agents of the State, the violence is necessary.
