The tragedy of the non-violent pirate

Yo I was kickin it wit HD who said he was kool wit the whole Somalian pirates thing until it got violent. Wow, he tried to explain how it was good business and he couldn't be mad at that but
they should be more image conscious. So, as long as the pirates fit within some liberal framework, illegitimate capitalists basically, it was all good, but violence offends his sensibilities. Right away Malcolm flashed through my head. "Revolution is bloody, Revolution aint about no love thy enemy and turn the other cheek". "The Mau-Mau wasn't image conscious". Some righteous anger is necessary. That liberal non-violent b.s. can only go so far. Non-violent piracy is about as effective as bringing a knife to a gunfight. There can't be no middle ground between those who are being oppressed and their oppressors. Those who choose to seek some kind of middle ground only end up serving the oppressor and maintaining our oppression. Until we fight for our liberation "by any means necessary" we will continue to spin our wheels trying to fit into a system that seeks to continue exploiting us.
