Non-violence, and particularly, Gandhian non-violence in some ways needs an audience
It's a theatre that needs an audience
How are the hungry to go on a hunger strike?
How are the people with no money to boycott taxes or foreign goods
Or do consumer boycotts?
Because I think it suits the status-quo to have everybody saying
This is terrible and all
So just let's just keep on without taking it into account the terrible structural violence
Any responsible person has to say that the violence will stop
When you stop pushing those people
It's a terrible thing to do to any society
I don't think that there is any romance in it
However, I'm not against romance
I do feel it's incredible that these poor people are standing up against this mighty state
It's a theatre that needs an audience
How are the hungry to go on a hunger strike?
How are the people with no money to boycott taxes or foreign goods
Or do consumer boycotts?
Because I think it suits the status-quo to have everybody saying
This is terrible and all
So just let's just keep on without taking it into account the terrible structural violence
Any responsible person has to say that the violence will stop
When you stop pushing those people
It's a terrible thing to do to any society
I don't think that there is any romance in it
However, I'm not against romance
I do feel it's incredible that these poor people are standing up against this mighty state
