militancythe language of militancy has fallen out of favor in progressive politics, and for good reason, macho militarism is reactionary as hell, but there is a certain clarity that a militant outlook has, the word "strategy" is no longer a metaphor, the basic objective becomes clear:
Attack The Enemy
The Houthis for example just get this, attack the ships, disrupt the supply lines, it makes perfect sense. Liberal, reformers and other profoundly governable types, they can't have this, what would gene sharp tell the Houthis? Should they non-violently petition the ships to not supply Israel? Deeply unseriousness.
