      It doesn’t work for an enormous issue requiring great political/economic change. When it works, the logic is to get the affected public to urge relevant elites to fix a discrete problem.

      This is indistinguishable from the logic of terrorism.

      Oh please. So civil disobedience is now terrorism too?

      You have to ask yourself if your goal is to inflict pain on innocent working people just to make them beg politicians to make the pain stop.

      Well, is civil disobedience terrorism?

      Not if it's not violent. But if it follows the logic of terrorism, you can't really evade that.

      But remember where we started—not with violence, but with obstruction on Zlondon train. CD is exactly premised on non violent obstruction. The actual difference here is that the obstruction was directed at non agents.

      Look, think of people shouting down a speaker—the heckler’s veto. They are obviously intruding on the rights of those who just wish to listen to what the speaker says.

      Right—but like with mere obstruction (renember, that’s what happened in London, not violence), people have a hard time holding onto the formal distinction. Tea Party verbally broke up tie up meetings in 2009 re ACA. Left college students will shout down speakers. Reject both?

      Yes. I was fine with Tea Party protests & demanding to be heard at constitutent meetings, but not with interfering with others by shutting down meetings.

          Ok—I’m fne w/that too, as you describe it. But many others thought shutting down the meeting was ok in the name of greater good. But back to London: as described, we have non violent civil disobedience—which is indeed inconvenient. So some other distinction must be asserted.
