Direct action is violent.
To say that it is violent to destroy the machinery of a slaughterhouse or to break
windows belonging to a political party that promotes war is to prioritize property over
human and animal life. This objection subtly validates violence against living creatures
by focusing all attention on property rights and away from more fundamental issues.
Direct action may obstruct the activities or destroy the property of a corporation or
institution—but if the latter is itself involved in violent activity, then such an act is not
violence but rather the prevention of violence.
Over the past three decades of protests, civil disobedience, and sabotage, not a single
person in the United States has been killed or seriously injured. Thousands, however,
have been beaten, tear-gassed, and imprisoned. One need only reflect upon a news
report such as “Violence erupted when protesters began throwing tear gas canisters
back at police” to discern who holds the monopoly on violence.
