  1. Thank you. When fighting against tyranny, one must realise that its highly inefficient and image threatening for any large organisation or government to use violence against pacifists, wheareas when given an excuse they might as well blow you to pieces.

    at the end of the day, if violence seperates freedom and slavery, or somesuch thing, then violence it will be
     
  3. If you have the numbers, the power and the weapons yes.

    exactly.
    when it comes to politics,violence is good only when you're 110% sure you'll win,or else you'll be vilified and your actions will be pointless in the end.
    when it comes to personal issues or survival,violence is a necessary evil.

    I say peace whenever possible, violence only when absolutely necessary.
