The Bahai teachings assert, in essence, that oppositional strategies of social change, whether violent or nonviolent, have reached a point of diminishing returns at this stage in human history because they do not address the underlying cause of injustice and oppression. The underlying cause, according to Bahaullah, is a widespread reluctance to accept, on a spiritual and intellectual level, the organic unity and interdependence-or common identity and interests-of all human beings. - Michael Karlberg, Constructive Resilience: The Bahai Response to Oppression. Peace & Change, Volume 35.2, 2010, p. 242.
