Peace movements are one of two possible strategies when engaging in a
revolutionary struggle. The other is the classic terrorist/insurgency
strategy, and each is useful in various contexts and applied
scientifically. While a number of top level peace proponents can be
generally said to have other goals in mind, it is my experience that
most of those involved are of the type Lenin described as useful
idiots, but which I would simply describe as victims of victimological memesets.
