    It worked great in France too, and still is. Every time the fascists try to take rights away, the French people mutilate Paris again, and it works.

    Also women’s suffrage, gay rights, civil rights movement (yes, it was under THREAT of violence, not nonviolence).

    It’s simple: you cannot beg power to abdicate itself.

      though to be fair, i don’t believe war and violence are the same thing. War is an excuse to commit violence, violence is sometimes the result of attempting to gain rights.
