Black Panther Party member Kathleen Cleaver on non-violence. [source]
Non-violence is a very non-functional approach in a society that’s based entirely on organized force and violence.
A country that was created in violence, land was taken in violence, a society that’s perpetuating itself through violence in the ghettos, in Vietnam, in Africa.
Wherever you look, there is organized force and violence at work to maintain this society.
There is a world of difference between 20 million unarmed people, and 20 milion people organized and armed to the gills.
That’s Power.
