55.非暴力的な抵抗 nonviolent resistance

Monday Mar 14, 2022

軍事的な侵略があるときに、軍事的に抵抗するより、非暴力的に抵抗した方がいいかもしれない。（ウクライナの勇敢的な人たちを批判せず）

TRANSCRIPT:

Ukraine has defended against the Russian invasion with their military, which is very brave and understandable, but they probably can’t win, and even if they do win, right now Ukraine is being destroyed.

Today’s articles suggest that Ukraine could respond to Russian violence with non-violent resistance:

When the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968 the population held huge peaceful protests, and stopped work, and shouted at the invaders to go home.
When Hitler invaded Denmark and tried to use it’s shipyards 造船所to build warships, the Danish workers dropped tools in the harbor, made holes in the ships, left work early, and generally refused to cooperate.
By contrast, Norway resisted militarily, and their country was so badly destroyed that they still had rationing 配給 in 1959.
In the Iranian revolution in 1979 the whole country went on strike – even the worst government can’t force the whole population to go to work.
Serbia overthrew their dictatorship with civil resistance 市民抵抗？, using a lot of comedy.
Ukrainians have also used nonviolent resistance: standing in front of tanks, shouting at Russian soldiers, gathering in crowds.
UK port workers have refused to unload Russian oil from a German-owned tanker.
Gene Sharp wrote a book where he listed 198 methods of nonviolent action.
Other countries can’t intervene militarily because that will lead to WWIII. (In fact Russia losing might also lead to nuclear war….) so they are using sanctions (which are not great, but are a step towards nonviolence).
As the UK’s politician Jeremy Corbyn says: “all wars end with a political solution, so why don’t we cut out the fighting zone and go straight into the talking zone”

Hey Simon what do you think?

I watched the ordinary Ukrainian people queuing up to get guns as volunteer fighters, and I was humbled by their bravery. It forced me to think: what would I do, if Okinawa was under attack?
I don’t know if I would be that brave (hopefully I will never need to find out….). But I think I want to be brave nonviolently: stand in front of a tank, not fire guns at it.

Because I think violent resistance leads to more violence: it’s pretty difficult to kill a nonviolent protester - much easier to kill someone who is shooting at you.

(but yes, this is “easy for me to say” – I am not criticizing Ukraine’s very difficult decisions).

仕方があるはずよ！
