You make valid points but I don't think they support your conclusion. I'll go down the list. Cape Town Peace March, The Berlin Wall & Salt Satyagraha: In these cases the Government felt it didn't have a choice but to capitulate lest it be overthrown completely. The Cape Town article makes that point and in the case of the Berlin Wall the Government of East Germany did dissolve. But I'll happily add the caveat "where the government believes it is capable of doubling down on its efforts without being overthrown". Still doesn't change the point though (unless you seriously think Anon is capable of overthrowing the U.S. Government) The same was true of the Indian independence movement. In the end the British Government didn't so much capitulate as it withdrew (which goes back to my first point of Governments doubling down until they can't anymore) Rosa Parks : In my post I said it would work if you are willing to let the Government take a pound of flesh and that's exactly what happened in the case of Rosa Parks. Parks was arrested and convicted. People who protested in her name were beaten as well as being arrested and convicted. The very section you point to says that MLK's house was bombed and churches were burnt down.
