Recent (20th century) history might suggest that non-violent civil diobedience is a more effective way to seek redress for grievances against the government and the political establishment.

In the US, it worked for the womens suffragette movement in the 1910s, the labor movement in the 1930s, the civil rights movement in the 1960s.

In India, it worked for Ghandi....in South Africa, it worked for Mandela....in Poland, it worked for Lech Welesa and Solidarity.....
