Nonviolence,Abstract
The wholesale adoption of nonviolent methods is impeded both by a poor understanding of them, and by a number of widely-held misconceptions and furphies—such as that nonviolence only succeeds against civilised opponents. Even revolutions thought to have succeeded through violence can be seen to have had a large component of nonviolence, but this has gone unrecognised because of the more subtle approach of nonviolence.
