>One can be negotiated with by voting, the other, violence.

Violence like shooting political opponents for voicing their opinions?



Proof by counterexample: I think it would have been a good decision to shoot Adolf Hitler for his opinions, don't you?


Simpler example: WWII happened, causing more than Hitler to be killed. Wars are political acts.


Sure would have been good if someone had killed Hitler before he started the war.


I would have made a donation to his art school in return for admitting him and keeping him busy.
