I am refering to the old school non-violence by the way, not the modern non-resistance crap. What are your toughts?

What COIN specialists promote is not nonviolence, its non-resistance. Non-violence is stuff like occupying buildings or shutting off pipelines. Non-resistance is harmless things like petitions and A to B marches.

    I'd argue they also disseminate discouragement of resistant non-violence by calling non-violent resistance to repression violence, but more importantly they stall consensus by invoking the violence debate in critical situations.
