I'm like 99% sure that "Violence is never the answer" is just yet ever more rich fuck propaganda.
"Violence (against the rich) is never the answer!" is what they really mean.
It’s also very Liberal propaganda.
While of course barely mentioning the Black Panthers and how MLK was suddenly a reasonable alternative to their violent resistance.
Exactly this. The "carrot and stick" strategy doesn't work without the stick. Every time a nonviolent movement achieves something, it's because they were seen as the preferable alternative to a more militant contemporary.
