Because when you are in a place of privilege it is easy to condemn violence while the very system that is in place is in fact a violent one. Just because you can’t directly see it, and just because you are currently not its victim, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. And sadly, violence is required to overthrow this system and to protect the socialist system that will replace it. Go tell a child slave in the cobalt mines in Congo that, uhm, akshually violence is bad so we shouldn’t use it in our uprising, while said kid is working 14 hours a day or face starvation. Go tell Palestinians that violence is wrong when their land is being colonized for decades now. Please, do it once, for our amusement.
