Violence is a tool. It is neither inherently good nor bad. It is how that violence is used and perpetrated and the context around why it was employed is where the heart of the matter lies.
Someone who is violent against Nazis or those of equivalent ideology in self defense? Absolutely and unequivocally justifiable.
Someone employing state violence to detain civilians because they were born on the wrong side of an imaginary line? Absolutely unjustifiable and deserves to be stopped, even if it means employing violence in self/community defense.
Except it isn’t illegal to enslave people. It is 100% legal if used as punishment for a crime as decided by the state. It is literally encoded into the 13th Amendment
Those “successes” are simply concessions from the state to lull the population back into complacency.
