    Yea only under the threat of violence has power ever changed hands. You need both peaceful and violent components to any movement to make any change last though.

      Also: we’ve got where we are under threat of violence. Charlottesville and Jan 6 in the USA, the recent gammon riots in the UK, everything Putin does, etc, etc. The Authoritarians have weaponised both peace and violence against us.
