The Opiate of Peace

On pacifism & pacifists.

Non-violent movements have a poor track record. The few successful cases ( Gandhi, Martin Luther King...) are misleading, since they were backed up by the threat of violence by allied movements.

The antiwar movement has indoctrinated itself with a number of pacifist delusions. For instance, the belief that peaceful protest ended the Vietnam war, instead of the armed Vietnamese and the high number of violent rebellions among US troops.
