Yeah I been getting some red flags from Anna for a while now, she seems to be getting further toward the right on a few issues. And claiming that the civil rights movement was entirely non-violent is insane. Malcolm X specifically criticised Martin Luther King Jr. for being so unyielding on non-violence. Every successful human rights movement in history either involved some violence or had a simultaneous group willing to engage in violence separate from the nonviolent group. As Nelson Mandela stated "the oppressor defines the nature of the struggle" meaning that if you are oppressed by violent means.... what other choice do you really have? Anna certainly knows enough about the history of labor and civil rights and women's and indigenous movements to know they didn't achieve their goals by meekly holding up signs and doing what they were told.
