Bortset fra at historien viser, at ikke-voldelig protester og civil ulydighed faktisk virker. Se fx kvinders stemmeret, civil rights bevægelsen i USA, apartheid, mv. Rosa Parks fik også skudt i skoene at hun forsinkede almindelige mennesker som bare skulle på arbejde.

Her er MLK om emnet: “You may well ask: “Why direct action? Why sit ins, marches and so forth? Isn’t negotiation a better path?” You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored. My citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word “tension.” I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth”
