"MLK and gandhi! nonviolence only!" is a basic bitch opinion but so is framing violent radicals as minor players in their inevitable victory

but this is cherrypicking examples where the relative moderates won. compare to mensheviks vs bolsheviks, or girondins vs montagnards

there is no design, course, or purpose to history, only the doings of men and god

it is a common topic of argument on the center to middle left whenever any kind of protest comes up, "nonviolence" vs "diversity of tactics"
-
but it presupposes whig view of history. reform-oriented types debating whether their problem children are liabilities or necessary foils

(the argument I'm making is often made on the far left except their conclusion is "that's why we're the good guys")
-
there are things you do and things that happen and within those classes of events any are possible to any end
