I dont think violence ever solves anything. It ends up making the bullet manufacterers and coffin makers richer but does little to change things.
Some of the most succesful revolutions were nonviolent. Dr. Martin Luther King did a great deal of good without resorting to violence. So did
Ghandi.
The true power we the people have is in our sheer numbers. Simply put, there are more of us than there are of them. If we simply all stood up one day
and said enough, we arent going to be manipulated into dying in wars, allowing people to live in poverty while others hoard resources, etc this would
all end.
The problem though is that folks simply cant grasp the concept of living in a world without money. There was a small group that did once, theyre were
referred to as Hippies back in the 1960's. They talked about forming "Communes", basically a community where individuals work at whatever they
desire and give their surplus to the community to be used by everyone. It was a radical concept and remains so to this day.
