Couch Potato Revolution readers: Is property destruction a form of violence?From the Sabots who stuck their wooden clogs into the cogs of machinery to the Earth Liberation Front that torches the machinery of ecological devastation, tactics of property destruction have been glorified as Direct Action, demonized as violence, slandered as acts of agent provocateurs (sometimes rightly so), and deemed "terrorism" by the Federal Government.
So, what do you think?

depends. usually not. but it gets into the question of whether or not we hold oppressors and oppressed to the same standards of behavior, no?
when say, big conglomerate business comes in and razes a building/area to develop at the expense of the local ecology & people, then yes. when said local people fight back and burn it down-no. :)
Thanks for the feedback. These are certainly the problems with the answers available!
