    Wrong.

    Violence is the supreme authority from which all other authorities are derived.

    When all else fails violence is the final answer.

    What do you do when someone is violently trying to knock down your door?

    You call the police and they come and they ask the person to leave nicely.

    He refuses and gets more aggressive, either they restraint him and drag him away or use some other method that involves violence.

    I challenge you to show a real world example of ending oppression that was achieved by asking nicely when one side refuses to come to the negotiating table.

      See that last stipulation is problematic. You are saying give an example but you are filtering out every possible example which would be when one side refuses to come to the negotiating table. Now granted im not saying you are wrong but in evaluating and thinking of an answer the problem of the logic with the when statement immediately pops up. Non violent protest leads to negotiation. bzzz. can’t use it. As I said in another post violence will happen. One side can be nonviolent but I can’t think of a case where they were nonviolent and violence was not done to them.
