Example text
To explore them to grasp not just the most recent forms of activism! but its broad ethical basis. Non-violent protest has a number of traditions and a long history. In such actions as boycotts and strikes, we can find non-violent protests far back in history. It is not hard to understand this long lineage. Non-violent protests based on withdrawing co-operation both strike at the heart of society and sidestep any superior force the target might have. Workers’ strikes operate with such principles.
The Zapatista attack on neo-liberalism has had wide resonance and been part of a shift within some green movements to participation in anti-neo-liberal globalization protests. Yet it remains the case that what might be transgressive for one movement, may not be for another. The social system or institution that must be made anew for one movement may be a vehicle for change for others. For example, some argue that legal systems must be transgressed because they presume private property as a given, and private property is inherently exploitative.
This leads, Gandhi believed, to the oppressor realizing their own moral and spiritual failures and then giving way. Second, practitioners build their own spiritual position, because non-violence leads to truth. The goodness and morality of followers of satyagraha is constantly developed and demonstrated by practising satyagraha. Simultaneous with such metaphysical concerns is the act of non-violence – boycott, refusal to co-operate and so on – that provides practical teeth for satyagraha’s high ideals.
