In every case these “riots” were triggered by police brutality or misconduct, most usually the killing or brutalizing of an unarmed black man.”
- Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (born October 4, 1943, as Hubert Gerold Brown), also known as H. Rap Brown, came to prominence in the 1960s as chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and later the Justice Minister of the Black Panther Party.

I wonder how long they would continue rioting if their leader suddenly got a heart attack?
But now we need them so show that they can channel that anger into actual revolutionary violence, or to non-violent leadership, and then see what kind of a reception they get.
Sikhs and other Indians could have sent the last of the British dismembered and floating down the rivers within 72 hours. This is why the British listend to Ghandi.
The Black Panthers put on an excellent hot breakfast program. People respected them because they were not advocating for a universal non-violence as a way of life. No, they confronted the police while holding loaded guns.
The followers of Jesus and Zealots were inseparable. It could have gone either way. In the end, it did go violent.

Enemies of justice are no better than the criminals themselves.
The United States is a revolutionary nation, and that revolution is still going on.
And I support French Anti-Nazi Resistance.
I also support out Abolitionist Movement, which was effective because it went further and further outside the law.

I also support the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, American's who violated our laws.

LMAO jackass.
Either we do go in the Social Democracy direction, or I predict large scale retributive killings will ensue.
Welfare as we know it is only intended to regulate and humiliate the poor, not to provide for the needs of the poor.

^ "I think the current state where bigotry is being allowed to go mainstream will ultimately cause a left wing backlash during the next elections."
For or against the left wing?
Seems to mean for the Left. We are already seeing this in the election of AOC, they increasing movement against Trump, and things like denying Amazon.com the NYC tax break, and increasing talk about things like UBI.

^ What does that have to do with bigotry?
Our political right runs on bigotry.
