That is not the point of the author however.
""The Oppressed, having internalized the image of the oppressor and
adopted his guidelines, are fearful of freedom.
"
Freedom is acquired by conquest, not by gift. "
Taking legal action through the legal system OF the oppressor would clearly be playing to the oppressor's guidelines. So would peaceful protest. THey would be relying upon the oppressor bestowing freedom upon them (or gifting it to them). Clearly the author advocates violence and that was the point I was addressing.
