„Wir befinden uns mitten in einem Krieg, und Neutralität ist nicht möglich. Es gibt nichts auf dieser Welt, das derzeit den Namen Frieden verdient. Es ist vielmehr die Frage, wessen Gewalt uns am meisten Angst macht und auf wessen Seite wir stehen.“
In lebendiger Sprache lädt Gelderloos Aktivisti ein, eine Vielfalt von Taktiken in Betracht zu ziehen. Es wird systematisch die Vorstellung entlarft, gewaltfreier Aktivismus sei die einzige akzeptable oder effektive Methode des Widerstands.

Work Description
Since the civil rights era, the doctrine of nonviolence has enjoyed near-universal acceptance by the US Left. Today protest is often shaped by cooperation with state authorities--even organizers of rallies against police brutality apply for police permits, and anti-imperialists usually stop short of supporting self-defense and armed resistance. How Nonviolence Protects the State challenges the belief that nonviolence is the only way to fight for a better world. In a call bound to stir controversy and lively debate, Peter Gelderloos invites activists to consider diverse tactics, passionately arguing that exclusive nonviolence often acts to reinforce the same structures of oppression that activists seek to overthrow.
