Everyday forms of resistance: social movement activity does not account for all organized resistance from one group towards the state or other powerful forces in society. And whenever, to pursue the simile, the ship of state runs aground on such a reef, attention is typically directed to the shipwreck itself & not the vast aggregation of actions which make it possible. (49) The first thing: to get overt resistance, you must have many factors causing it. The collapse may be observable but its causes may be unknown. These techniques, for the most part quite prosaic, are the ordinary means of class struggle, they are the techniques of first resort in those common historical circumstances in which open defiance is impossible or entails mortal danger.
