Axis: ViolenceCan violence be legitimate?

No cause justifies shedding blood: violence degrades the one who wields it, calls forth violence in return, and corrupts the very ends it claims to serve. Nonviolence is not passivity but a force: resisting evil without reproducing it, disarming the adversary rather than striking them down.

This position is still lightly documented.
