This essay is available elsewhere as On Violence. It touches on topics like student protest movements, left-wing violence (and what Marx would have thought about it), race relations in the US, racism more generally and whether all political power ultimately comes down to violence or coercion.

I found it fascinating when I read it years ago and, since then, I've been slowly reading through everything else Hannah Arendt wrote. It's astonishing to me that something like this was published in print. These days I think you're better off scouring the internet for blogs if you want to read something interesting and provocative.
