Renegade Cut - Why Riots Happen

Crucial notes here:

"The label of violence is something enforced by the state."

This is because a state is an area in which a monopoly of violence has been claimed by an occupying force. The implications are clear: who gets labeled a criminal or terrorist mostly depends on who is doing the labeling -- in this case the corporate-owned media, the police, the courts, as well as the citizens who are complicit with the state's definitions.

"The aggrieved party in a riot may have been incited by a particular incident, but their long-standing grievances include the maintenance of their poverty."

This is an incredibly important point! The media in particular has a nasty habit of presenting riots as these isolated incidents entirely separated from a history of oppression and social context. This allows the consumers of this content to ignore all of the actual causes of these events and assign total blame to the rioting individuals and not the systems that keep them impoverished and marginalized. This is an incredibly old trick that still works wonders today. It's like if a school bully decided the only important part of a story was the bit where you punched them in the jaw, conveniently leaving out the part where they threw mud in your eyes...every day...for 500 years.

"Riots occur when all other attempts at reaching a peaceful solution have failed."

This point connects to the last. We should never forget that there have been attempts to avoid direct conflict -- and they often do not work for a myriad of reasons. Red tape, lack of funds and accessibility, sabotage from reactionary groups, and so on. The history of oppression necessarily informs the tactics and goals of the people who are oppressed. If it were as simple as choosing the nonviolent option, provided it that it actually addresses these concerns in an expedient way, we wouldn't have riots at all. It's because of the failure of the social order to provide adequate peaceful solutions that address these concerns, that rioting becomes the means that are chosen. We'd only land on other conclusions if we don't take this history into account.

*Leans by his office door pouting and whines in a complaining manner* Saaaaaaaaaaaaad. - @yourcoruscantworkwife

*doesn't look up, but shows her his middle finger. Tiredly his lips twitch up and his dark, empty eyes sparkle feral for a tiny second.*

This is your fault. Deal with it, ad'ika. Or do you want me to work on you as well? Come here, mesh'la.

*snorts exhausted and pats on his lap. He could work while hugging her. A little emotional support for both of them can never be bad.*

What makes for rioting? Everything and nothing. A gradual build-up of electricity, a sudden spark, an uncontained force, a gust of wind. This gust of wind encounters individuals who think, minds that dream, souls that suffer, passions that burn, wretchedness that howls, and carries them away with it.

Victor Hugo, Les Misérables (transl. C. Donougher)

Hey! I think I’m close to radicalizing an acquaintance but I need some help. Do you have any materials that explain how violence by antifa and BLM is justified bc it’s a response to state violence?

Oh heck yeah, get it! First, it's important to note that antifa is a response to fascist violence, specifically. The main point to underline is that fascist groups like the Proud Boys go out looking for violence, targeting people who won't or can't fight back. Antifa prevents this violence, which has in many cases been deadly, by confronting them first and driving them off. On a larger scale, they look to prevent fascism from taking hold of the state, which results in mass violence that I'm sure your acquaintance has heard about.

I think this writeup by Natasha Lennard is pretty good:

Anti-Fascist Practice and Impossible Non-Violence

In terms of BLM, you're probably talking about rioting as a response to state violence. On this topic, I like this piece by Mila Ghorayeb as it touches on the overall subject of how we're conditioned to view and think of "violence," with state violence being considered acceptable in spite of the vast harm it causes.

Riots Happen When Non-Violence Fails

For a Black perspective, here's one by Kellie Carter Jackson:

#OTD in 1844 – Anti-Irish, anti-Catholic Nativists riot in Philadelphia against the increasing influence of the Catholic Church and the influx of Irish immigrants. At least fifteen people die in the rioting.

A major American city exploded into arson and murder, in a shocking episode of anti-Irish, anti-Catholic bigotry. Although virtually forgotten now on both sides of the Atlantic, the Philadelphia Nativist Riots of 1844 had significant consequences for political and religious life in the United States. In May and July 1844, Philadelphia suffered some of the bloodiest rioting of the antebellum…

“A wrecked street in Belfast following the fierce rioting of unemployed, who were subdued only after one man had been killed and others badly wounded. Pavement was torn up and fires started at several points.”

- from the Toronto Star, October 25, 1932. Page 21.
