Form Guerilla force huh. How about we just start with civil disobedience. It's a good litmus test; most of us here aren't willing to risk getting arrested for even minor infractions.

Civil disobedience is rarely a productive tool. Unless you already know how the media will cover you (if they will at all), you're just getting yourself and potential comrades fucked over by the legal system.

Don't do the pigs job for them.

Tell that to the civil rights protesters in the 60's. It was illegal to sit at white only lunch counters. But clearly civil disobedience worked out

I think Kwame Ture put it best.

Dr. King's policy was that nonviolence would achieve the gains for black people in the United States. His major assumption was that if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That's very good. He only made one fallacious assumption: In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none.
