Right-wingers don't know what real commitment to a cause means. They're so into authoritarianism, when they're told to go home, they do. Even when they try to carry out a protest, they can't quite get it right. They can only work by proxy (lobbyists, other people's kids in uniform, etc.)

Protests may involve direct action, force and even violence, though sometimes the most powerful demonstrations are the ones that that practice passive resistance. Here we look at four famous protests from the last fifty years that opened eyes and changed people’s mindsets.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/images-of-activism/11454"><H2>Tiananmen Square Protest, 1989</H2></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/images-of-activism/11454"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.environmentalgraffiti.com/img/1E0F0BF5-6BE5-448E-8A56-33CAF742BBB4" alt="tiananmen square" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/images-of-activism/11454"><P><STRONG>Flag waver, Tiananmen Square, Beijing, May 1989</STRONG>
