If peacefully unionizing or organizing folk are attacked, they are morally free to defend themselves, even in an organized way.
Establishing killsquads and public executions will not stay “pure” and will cause massive spill over violence.
There’s an important distinction between the two.
Above I provided a meaningful reply to “what’s your solution”. You can argue it might not be effective, but I’m certainly not avoiding anything. I made my point, and my suggestion.
I was just trying to show that taking the high road effectively does nothing, when the opposition is willing to stoop to any level to win.
And that, historically, whether we are non-violent or violent, both have been countered with violence.
You’re absolutely right about the spillover violence, but I would contend that we’re currently experiencing that anyway, as inequality runs rampant and people are forced to crime to survive.
We’ve been trying the peaceful way for my entire lifetime and made no real progress. Perhaps it’s time for a different approach. I’m not really comfortable with it morally, but I’m also not morally comfortable with things staying the way they are for another generation.
