Marcuse asserted a natural right of minorities to extralegal resistance

Evidence

I believe that there is a `natural right’ of resistance for oppressed and overpowered minorities to use extralegal means if the legal ones have proved to be inadequate. Law and order are always and everywhere the law and order which protect the established hierarchy; it is nonsensical to invoke the absolute authority of this law and this order against those who suffer from it and struggle against itnot for personal advantages and revenge, but for their share of humanity. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 2592
