The only antidote to a violent revolution at this point is that we wage a peaceful one against the corporatist politics that produced so much dysfunction to begin with.

The we could just like, do a violent revolution. Since everything to do with political power is already violent. And because every successful social movement has came with violence.

Both of these revolutions contained violence. The civil rights movement has been whitewashed to only be about MLK when in reality there were multiple massive riots at the time. Malcom X was pro-violence for most of his life and MLK even thought riots were inevitable.
