PACS 164A: Introduction to Nonviolence - Fall 2006. An introduction to the science of nonviolence, mainly as seen through the life and work of Mahatma Gandhi. Historical overview of nonviolence East and the West up to the American Civil Rights movement and Martin Luther King, Jr., with emphasis on the ideal of principled nonviolence and the reality of mixed or strategic nonviolence in practice, especially as applied to problems of social justice and defense.
Nonviolence sucks against democratic governments. If your goals are not fulfilled, it usually means that most people think these goals are stupid. Also without repressive violence non-violence looses most of its teeth. That's why in western countries protesters will always try to overstate any "police violence" even if police really labor to avoid injury or even humiliation.
