Since the election of Donald Trump #resistance has been making some pretty large waves; as groups of pro-Trump supporters (often with white supremacist connections) have clashed with others identifying themselves as Antifa (or Anti-Facsists, another group with a long and storied history). While these clashes have been broadcast into our living rooms, it raises the specter of what the proper form of resistance to political oppression should be.\nDebaters discussing this topic would be well served by delving into literature that explores the difference between “political oppression” and other forms of oppression, like “civil,” “legal,” or “social” oppression. Ostensibly, political oppression is a form of oppression that is connected to the political and legal structures, indicating that the government, in some form—supports or legitimates the oppression this is being discussed. Additional, questions surrounding violence are quite interesting in regards to this topic, particularly given the literature that argues that a response to oppression can never be violence. Further, thinkers who have often been associated with antifa and anarchist groups often argue that violence must be directed at a human, and would thus disqualify actions like the destruction of property.\nThe most obvious route to discuss this topic lies in the conversation between violent forms of resistance, and non-violent forms of resistance. This is a debate that has a long history, and is probably best exemplified in the American context in the debates between supporters of Malcom X and the supporters of Martin Luther King Jr., during the Civil Rights movement. Ultimately, this resolution proposes a discussion about the most efficacious, or “just” response to oppression—and is thus mostly a debate about different strategies. The Affirmative will be interested in advancing a perspective that includes violence amongst a range of possible options to resist oppression—while the Negative is probably best suited to argue that alternative resistance strategies are more valuable.\nImportantly, the question of political oppression is not one that is likely to go away, and it tends to rear its head in difficult situations. A negative will probably not be well served by simply arguing that violence is bad—they should probably propose how they imagine oppressed groups might be able to effectively combat their oppression. Of course, discussions about the success and failure of political movements will be difficult, because the landscape of our present world, and the landscapes of the worlds of history are much different, and both are complex and regularly shifting.\nIn this file, you will find a variety of different approaches to the topic. The affirmative approaches the discussion from a pretty central route, arguing that violence is one possible response, and that it is a response that is necessary in order for non-violent activism to be successful. In a world without violent resistance, the affirmative might argue, then the non-violent protestors look like extremists. The negative approaches the resolution similarly. It starts by arguing that violence conducted by the oppressed cannot be properly categorized as violence, because it is in response to violence that has already occurred. From this perspective, the negative might argue, to say that the oppressed commit violence is to blame someone who is hit for and injury to the fist of the person who struck them. The negative then moves on to argue that violence backfires, as well as proposes non-violence as a better response to political oppression.\nAdditional Readings\nQuick Opening Read:\nFarbstein 2014 (Susan H.
