- Matrix: Unsuitable protocol for realtime messaging with relatively good client ecosystem.
You are aware that besides Gandhi there was a lot of violent protest?
Only violent protest makes the demands of the nonviolent acceptable to the ruling class. Without a violent part of a movement, the demands of the nonviolent are always ignored. Which is perfectly logical, because why accept the demands of someone you can ignore without consequences.
Now is absolutely not the time to give up on democracy.
No one wants to give up democracy, we just recognize that liberal bourgeois democracy only serves to create an illusion of democratic voice. The only interests taken into account in the so-called modern "democracies" are those of capital, and that is no democracy at all.> Now is absolutely not the time to give up on democracy.
