Government / Politics
Nonviolent action seeks to weaken the system of oppression by withdrawing co-operation. Sometimes, this takes overt and public forms: strikes and sit-ins, for instance. At other times, hidden forms of non-compliance are used -- for instance, going slow at work or taking part in a boycott. Such methods are available to those who cannot expose themselves to the risks of public action but deny an oppressor the fruits of his (her) supremacy.
