Diversity of tactics
Social phenomenon / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diversity of tactics is a phenomenon wherein a social movement makes periodic use of force for disruptive or defensive purposes, stepping beyond the limits of nonviolent resistance, but also stopping short of total militarization.[1][2] It also refers to the theory which asserts this to be the most effective strategy of civil disobedience for social change.[3] Diversity of tactics may promote nonviolent tactics, or armed resistance, or a range of methods in between, depending on the level of repression the political movement is facing. It sometimes claims to advocate for "forms of resistance that maximize respect for life".[4]
