You don’t generally set out from the beginning stating you intend to use violence.
A rebellion has to start by peaceful means, and the other side give in to overwhelming numbers.
I don’t think the left in USA have overwhelming numbers. So the best way for now seems to me to be to work to influence the democracy away from the extreme right that has become normalized.
I agree we should not start with violence. And we didn’t start with violence. Our peaceful protests have been met with violence and 50 year prison sentences for non-violent protest. The time for non-violent methods has passed. There is no peaceful solution any more.
But we need to be able to communicate to organize the next steps. Those of us ready and willing to engage in those next steps don’t have any platform or place for that as far as I can tell. Where do we sign up to fight? Where do we go to train with others? Where do we go to even communicate plans without our comments being removed?
