How else can freedom be taken if not through violence? And if you can take freedom through violence, freedom can be taken back from you through violence. That all just sounds like a cycle of never-ending violence.
It’s not as though no slave, over several hundred years of slavery, ever thought of killing their master to free themselves. Very few even attempted it because they knew their violence would be met with even greater violence.
Right, the difference between organised violence that smashes a whole class of oppressors (good) vs individuals lashing out (also good, but not as much)
