Not coincidentally, this is the same period where the western left takes a turn for a disintegrated, spontaneist approach, with plenty of encouragement from Gladio, COINTELPRO and the like. Protests work as a prong of a greater strategy.
Protests are the compromise, and if they don't get the compromise they're supposed to blossom into revolution.
The Western powers have so thoroughly defanged the left though that the second stage of protest is basically never a threat.
A protest is meant to be brandishing a weapon, but our weapon is a banana.
I didn't know why protests were sometimes called demonstrations until I'd learned a bit about military strategy
politics is NOT a banana!
Is this sorta calling for a nonviolent form of protest like the situationalists?
It's deliberately unclear. Nihilists have extensive debates about this text and many others, ACs like myself fold it into an exhortation to get serious about attaching ourselves to an accumulating counterpower.
