"You have nothing on me, senator, except my name on lists of names from Iraq, many of which have been drawn up after the installation of your puppet government in Baghdad." George Galloway, Respect MP for Bethnal Green and Bow, delivered this statement to US Senators 17 May 2005 who have accused him of corruption. Link to full transcript of Galloway's testimony.
"To discuss tolerance in such a society [as ours at present] means to re-examine the distinction between violent and non-violent action. The discussion should not, from the beginning, be clouded by ideologies which serve the perpetuation of violence...But to refrain from violence in the face of vastly superior [socially sanctioned] violence is one thing, to renounce a priori violence against violence, on ethical or psychological grounds is another. Non-violence is normally not only preached to but exacted from the weak--it is a necessity rather than a virtue, and normally it does not seriously harm the case of the strong. (Is the case of India an exception? There...passive resistance [was] no longer passive--it cease[d] to be non-violent)...In historical terms of historical function, there is a difference between revolutionary and reactionary violence, between violence practiced by the oppressed and by the oppressors. In terms of ethics, both forms of violence are inhuman and evil--but since when is history made in accordance with ethical standards? To start applying them at the point where the oppressed rebel against the oppressors, the have-nots against the haves, is serving the cause of actual violence by weakening the protest against it." --Herbert Marcuse, "Repressive Tolerance" (1965)
