Change would seem to entail violence no matter how it was went about. We can't strike without losing our jobs, therefore our homes and healthcare, people don't have the financial means to strike indefinitely so they would have to occupy buildings and break other laws to keep it going, the police would be directed to break up occupations and assemblies with force resulting in death and injuries.
We have had mass protests and public occupations from time to time for decades now that have been met with police repression, murders and abductions from the government and reactionaries, and they resulted in little progress as far as reduction of the fascist violence from our government and military. The history of this resistance might have brought the public's awareness and discontent to a point where a more radical change in the system could be possible though.
