[备份]对抗铁拳

1972年Angela Davis在加州的监狱里有一段采访。

问：问题是你如何达成？通过对抗？暴力？

答：这就是另一件事了。当你谈到革命的时候，大多数人想到“暴力”而没有意识到任何形式的革命的内容都在于你所追求的原则和目标而不是达成的方式。另一方面，【正因为这个社会组织和运作的方式，正因为随处可见的’暴力’，你不得不料想会有这样的冲突，你不得不料想作为回应的这样的事会发生。】

虽然她明显指上街。但这段话适用于我们社会的方方面面。先有铁拳，你的一切运动都会被认为是危险的暴力的图谋不轨的；因为你的行为作为对铁拳的对抗，不带有铁拳的相似属性怎么能行。

“First of all, if you’re gonna talk about a revolutionary situation you have to have people who are physically able to wage revolution, who are physically able to organize and physically able to do all that it’s done” 

Q: but the question is how do you get there? you get there by confrontation? violence?

D : “Oh it’s that the question you were asking?

Well you see that’s another thing, When you talk about a revolution most people think ‘violence’ without realizing that the real content of any kind of revolutionary thrust lies in the principles and the goals that you’re striving for not in the way you reach them. On the other hand, because of the way the society is organized, because of the violence that exists on the surface everywhere you have to expect there are going to be such explosions, you have to expect things like that is reactions.”
