To what extent is Brown approach an effective and / or destructive strategy for revolution.

The people suffering from the oppression of the system wanted to strike out at those causing the oppression. The frustration and anger that resulted from the oppression led to their riots and acts of violence. The Chicanos felt that they were persecuted and discriminated against and the marches and demonstrations organized by the Chicano Militants provided a common rallying point and way to express their anger and frustration. The anger and frustration leads to acts of revenge and violence. This was even true of Brown. They wanted revenge for what happened to Robert Fernandez. They made Molotov cocktails and drove around looking for a way to express their anger through violence. They finally bombed a Safeway store. Another example of revenge was the bombing of the courthouse in Los Angeles. Brown had spent three years defending the Militants on various charges. He didn't want to be a lawyer and resented the system that made him have to defend the Militants. He was involved in the planning of the courthouse bombing and made reference to going out with a bang several times. His two big goals were to write a book and to bomb the courthouse where he spent so much of his time defending the Militants on charges that he felt stemmed from political persecution. Their phone call tied the bombing to revenge for the death of Zanzibar.
