APATHY
“Nonviolence, of
course, does not mean that we shouldn’t take action in the world. Nonviolence is not passivity; it is not
inaction. Nonviolence denounces apathy. In fact, apathy is one of the greatest
threats to peace.” Scott Hunt, The Future of Peace, p. 336.

DIRECT ACTION AND NONCOOPERATION
By Dick Bennett
Working nonviolently for peace, justice,
and the environment can engage us on three levels: education, protest, and resistance. First, we must ensure that above all we
must be informed about the local, state, and national issues we consider
crucial, before we attempt to inform the public. Our power begins here; our slogan is
“Knowledge is Power.” From this foundation we can launch our appeals and
protests against the individuals and institutions that choose, for
example, violence and wars, warming and climate change. If after pressing our demands for the
people’s sovereignty as thoroughly as we could and receiving only indifference
and rebuke, we must turn, as did Gandhi and King, to direct action, which is
what they meant by nonviolent resistance.
Without using armed force, we must force the stubborn agents of oppression
and destruction to change by deploying one or a combination of the methods
analyzed, for example, by Gene Sharp, or narrated, for example, in A Force More Powerful.
During the preceding century of slaughter,
men and women on all continents also extraordinarily struggled against
adversaries of all kinds to reclaim sovereignty of and for the people, to
remove the palace and build the ballot.
Noncooperation was one of
their methods. Thoreau in his “On Civil Disobedience,”
1848, condemned cooperation with a government that permitted slavery and
initiated wars of aggression. He
affirmed the right to refuse allegiance to a tyrannical government and urged
the people of the USA
refuse to pay their tax bills to stop state violence.
Thoreau influenced Tolstoy who
influenced Gandhi, who wrote in his preface to a reprint of an essay by Tolstoy:
“An oppressor’s efforts will be in vain if we refuse to submit to his tyranny.” This is true because, whether exerted against
the violence of the Pentagon and wars, a military occupation, the fossil fuel
industry, bigotry--racial, religious, or patriarchal--or any other oppression,
noncooperation can expose the illegitimacy of power based upon fear, killing,
destruction of property, and the legitimacy based upon consent.
This legitimacy can
end command-obedience power and can endure in the rule of law derived from people power in republics. And this legitimacy was achieved by movements
when unjust laws were not obeyed, when people refused to work or buy, when
public services stopped. Noncooperation
worked successfully against autocracy in India ,
South Africa , Poland , Czechoslovakia ,
and other countries, and is at work in the global BDS Movement against Israel . And it is only one method of nonviolent
resistance.
