Zoé Samudzi said this in a YouTube Live discussion last week. Here’s the full statement: In order for a nation-state to exist, it has to maintain a monopoly on legitimate violence. There is no contesting the State that the State understands outside of an attempt to undermine the monopoly on legitimate violence. So, there is no such thing as a peaceful protest. There is no such thing as non-violent civil disobedience as long as it seeks to, in some way, displace the tendrils of brutality.
Well said! I would add that Original People are funding mechanism for both private & public sectors.
