Don't let them confuse you, yes strikes, boycotts and riots can be violent, but they're also an appropriate response to a government system that is completely oppressing you. It is violent to evict people, and kick them out of their home. It is violent to throw someone in jail for debts, or to sentence someone to death because of health care denial. Arresting millions of black and brown young people just to further the prison industrial slave shops are violent actions. They want to use violence against working class brown and black people. Then they have the audacity to say "Well the left is being violent."
Stop killing us, how about that? If the ruling class does that first, then we'd see that they're serious about working together. If not they're only aim is to dominate and subjugate us.
