    Violence or a credible threat of violence is the only thing that produces change.

    Unionizers had to fight mining companies armed with machine guns.

    The pinkertons specialized in using violence against unionizers.

    MLK succeeded only because of Malcom x. MLKs peaceful protests were peaceful only because of the watchers armed with rifles.

    Occupy Wall Street was kettled in the corner and ignored.

    About the only successful peaceful protest was the Iroquois indian sex strike and the American fight to give women the right to vote.
