    Yes, it is needed, or the threat of it is. Especially when said government, local and county, are aligned with that business’ interest. We didn’t get the 40 hour work week, weekends, overtime pay, benefits, etc. from just asking nicely. We demanded it and when they laughed in our great grandparent’s faces, they beat the shit out of them.

      I won’t denounce violence, I’ll give you some ideas on matrix. I’ve seen Minneapolis.

      For me know I want to give people the peaceful organizing option were we do mutual aid, socials, and making canvassing fun.

      More options for the most amount of people

        Oh yeah, organization is key and not everyone has to be able or willing to be violent. Just a significant portion that they cannot be easily singled out amongst the group. Though that doesn’t mean someone shouldn’t protect their community and those in it.
