âDiversity of tacticsâ is a form of political disobedience par excellence, since its emphasis on autonomy rather than authority represents a direct contradiction to the kind of order that ordinary politics presupposes.
âDonât mistake the COMPLEXITY of this movement for CHAOS,â warns one of the many handmade cardboard signs at Liberty Plaza.
If it is true, as Iâve come to think, that a âdiversity of tacticsâ has been meaningfully practiced by the Occupation movement even while remaining nonviolent, then traditional definitions of the phrase are in need of revision. Rather than merely granting permission to use violence, respecting a âdiversity of tacticsâ is in its own right a robust approach to conducting resistanceâand one that is arguably all the more powerful when it remains non-violent. This was highlighted in the part of Naomi Kleinâs recent speech at Liberty Plaza that earned the loudest applause:
Something else this movement is doing right: You have committed yourselves to nonviolence. You have refused to give the media the images of broken windows and street fights it craves so desperately. And that tremendous discipline has meant that, again and again, the story has been the disgraceful and unprovoked police brutalityâ¦Meanwhile, support for this movement grows and grows. More wisdom.
