    The point of protests (in proper revolutionary movements) is to gather support and get your agenda out there so that it is un-ignorable.

    Violent protest is the only useful protest if your criteria for useful is government change. But we know government change isn’t coming without revolution or at the very least the serious threat of it.

    So yes and no.

      Roadblocks and disruptive protests fit this category. Make it more expensive for them to disobey the people than to submit.
