You miss my points.
There is nothing wrong with rallies and marches. I'm not arguing that everybody should go out and break windows. My complaint is with a coalition that seeks to lead a movement that will only do one form of protest. Then it claims that this one style of protest will change things.
If permitted rallies and marches changed things, we'd be living in a socialist utopia by now, 'cause there have been so many of these damn things over the years in the U.S.

"The state can't give you free speech, and the state can't take it away. You're born with it, like your eyes, like your ears. Freedom is something you assume, then you wait for someone to try to take it away. The degree to which you resist is the degree to which you are free..." ---Utah Phillips
