violence never helps. if you think violence helps, you already lost. fascism in germany wasn't stopped with violence either. i don't mean the war, but before that, so we can't rally argue that it would have been possible to prevent fascism from coming to power with a violent response. we don't know. didn't fascists in germany even incite violence in order to have an excuse to take power?

the only answer to fascism is global and local unity. the majority of people need to be against fascism. violence will always come from a minority position and will never have majority support. a majority does not need violence.
