What I mean is don't get caught opposing the state. Where you have an
oppressed majority that acknowledges its oppression, nonviolent
resistance is a viable option. India. US south. South Africa. But it's
hard so see how that would work in Australia, for example.

But hey, if going down as a martyr is your trip, go for it!

I don't care much about labels. There is no "anarchism".
