Different propaganda is attempted through riots, vandalism and property destruction. In an article titled ‘You are not the target audience‘, William Gillis asks, “What’s more valuable, avoiding a few million people briefly tut-tutting at the ‘violent protesters’ before promptly forgetting us or shattering the worldviews of hundreds and gaining fifty new full-time activists brimming with passion?” The titular target audience here seems to be an idealised ‘oppressed person’ and any morally advanced allies. People already frustrated with the system and viewing these tactics as warranted and effective. This orientation either assumes that small groups of daring radicals can achieve social change, or that eventually society will become so inhospitable that masses of people will come to justify and adopt their tactics. The assumption at the heart of this strategy is that activists can demonstrate the potential of their strategies even when those strategies are met with heavy police repression and not victory. As Gillis says, it’s not that “a few busted windows or bruised cops pave the road to a better world, but because it at least demonstrates potential”. To its detriment, this is a complete inversion of the logic of class struggle.
