- For the Canadian urban guerrilla group "Direct Action" see Squamish Five.
Direct action is a form of political activism which seeks immediate remedy for perceived ills, as opposed to indirect actions such as electing representatives who promise to provide remedy at some later date.
Overview
Direct action includes such activities as strikes, boycotts, workplace occupations, sit-ins, intimidation, harassment, political assassinations, revolutionary/guerrilla warfare, or sabotage, and less oppositional methods such as establishing radical social centres, which are often squatted. Direct actions are often (but not always) a form of civil disobedience, and are sometimes illegal. Those employing direct action aim to either:
- obstruct another agent or organization from performing some practice to which they object.
- act with whatever resources and methods are within their power, either on their own or as part of a group, in order to solve problems.
