Peaceful protests by themselves exclusively don’t achieve any political goals (as long as it’s not funded by the CIA in an unstable region). Protests should be tied to actual action: unionisation, collective bargaining, striking, and teaching of political theory to the masses. And by “tied”, I mean that the people in the demonstration should explicitly be told to support the following, concrete steps already planned before the protest.
Hell even Rosa Park had to “stage” her act of protest where she became famous for and she didnt work alone. It was an concerted effort by black civil rights groups. The collective effort is erased in liberal history, because of the worship of the individual above the collective.
Protests used to be called ‘demonstrations’ because the point was to have an organized demonstration of your power to bring industry to a halt.
Abbie Hoffman was good at this. Abbie Hoffman was also not afraid of a little violence.
