Can we not do the "people post on the safety of a message board about how totally ready and eager they are to murder other people" thing?

Mocking people for being pacifists is extremely counter-revolutionary, bee tee dubs. Quiet as it’s kept, non-violent revolution is historically very effective. (Earlier link to fairly dumb article replaced with direct link to research, thanks forums user some plague rats for pointing out that dumb university news release about a faculty book was dumb.)

Did you actually read the article? It's insane. I mean aside from defining a successful movement exclusively as one that overthrew a government, her go-to example of a successful non-violent resistance is south africa. She gives a bizarre ahistorical accounting where the main driver of end of apartheid was white south african elites hurting because black people were boycotting their businesses???

The two drivers to end apartheid were popular resistance and international boycotts. Popular resistance in SA was both violent and non-violent, and SA scholars argue that the non-violent resistance, particularly labor actions, was at least as effective, if not more effective.

Agree that the article I linked is not a good exposition of Chenoweth’s work; I’ll edit my earlier post to replace it with an actual paper. Appreciate your point, thanks.

This is a weird thread to be discussing this in, but sure. The contention that there were two types of resistance, violent and non, and we can judge which one was more useful is daft, to me, because the utility is interconnected. You can't say "the boycotts ended apartheid" and not acknowledge the effect of the militant ANC, that's absurdly ahistorical because every time non-violent resistance has effected change it's been because the threat of violent resistance coming next was there alongside it. The road to success has always been presenting elite interests with the certainty that if they carry on ignoring the peaceful protests, the next ones won't be. MLK needs a Malcolm X, Gandhi needs a Bose and the INA, the Iranian National Front needs a Khomeini, you get the idea. Also if you want to be really cynical, a Harvard professor being like "uh it's bad to overthrow white elite interests with violence, do something less rude, it's totally more effective!" is like ha ha yeah okay

Are you intending to tear apart your own argument? Find regime change that was purely made through peace, and not like, lead, blood, and depleted uranium shells that caused birth defects for generations.

To be clear, just as good if not more, is not the same thing as "without."
