Disagree that violence doesn't work, especially organised.
Technically it does, but not locally in the age of national governments. Before you're saying it, the moment it stops being a local movement, it would work even less and lead to the organized repression I mentioned. To support my point, see how harsh government reaction has been to activists merely gluing themselves to the street (not to mention, how most people were happy about this crackdown).
And no, I doubt "The Revolution" that magically solves all of our problems (unlike most revolutions) will be started by anti-AV riots.
Violence is a tool and like many tools it must be used correctly and at the right times. However, it's also not the only tool in the toolbox in which there are many.
Yes, that is a fair point.
