The reason this doesn't go on much in the United States is that the bosses have managed to infiltrate the Left effectively enough, sometimes with mere attitudes regarding so-called 'pacifism' that protest is essentially muzzled before it even quietly lines up on the street to get shaken down.

See this book as soon as you can:

'How Nonviolence Protects the State' by Peter Gelderloos (Signalfire Press, 2005
$8US/$10CAN

They actually give permission to pirate the book in the beginning. I wish i had the means to reproduce a few copies. I may actually type the thing out. I dunno. However the Wooden Shoe bookstore in Philly, just north of South St., carries it; that's where I picked it up.

And I might type out a copy of it one of these days, I have enough free time on my hands.

Ward Churchill's Pacifism as Pathology is also worth checking out.
