When I said OG Rednecks I was referring to those who fought in the Unions and County wars, Blair mountain, and towards the tail end volunteered in Catalonia. Anyways they more or less got what they wanted, high union membership and getting the companies to the negotiating table, only took a couple decades of violence to get the point across.
Yes im aware about of the 97 change of policy from the IRA, but they also fractured towards the end of the Troubles so im not even sure I should consider the IRA of 1997 as the same organization as in 1977. Also my point reiterated they did violence until they got negotiated with.
Yes I know about the Zapatistas using violence sparringly. Look at my two previous points.
Violence is a tool like any other, one must know where to apply it and with how much pressure. You do not use a blowtorch to hammer in a nail nor do you use a sledgehammer for a picture frame nail. All I was trying to point out is that violence has been used to great effect, the make them bleed more comment while holding some truth was also me being somewhat hot blooded.
Frankly speaking the best way to fuck with these large corporations is to attack their infrastructure. Destroy servers, vehicles, buildings, etc. Killing the CEO will eventually result in either hiding of the CEO or moving the power to a new position.
