“Can the hungry go on a hunger strike? Non-violence is a piece of theatre. You need an audience. What can you do when you have no audience? People have the right to resist annihilation.”

Roy doesn’t like the use of violence. Who can blame her? I don’t like it either. But nonviolence only works within a privileged context, however meager and shitty that privilege may be and to the extent it could be used effectively.
