Funny enough Pegida wanted to burn a Koran today in The Netherlands and their leading guy got beat up by a counterprotest. Socdems are now acting high and mighty saying violence is never an option. Get rekt.
I can understand being personally opposed to violence, but judging the lower classes for literally fighting their oppressors and intimidators is pretty pointless. It is a historic inevitability.
I'd guess the implication is that freedom shouldn't be given to reactionaries and excusing it on the basis of "The American Way" is ahistorical considering than Lincoln didn't give it to southern slavers either.
Lincoln was pretty racist ngl. The largest single execution of Natives was carried out under his government, though I dont think the inclusion was hinting at that.
