Resolved: On balance, violent revolution is a just response to political oppression.

All I want to know is if you are Affirmative (Agreeing) or Negative (Disagreeing) with this.
Or you can say you're unsure (The "It depends" deal).
Whichever way, explain why you think so.

Me? I've got to say I'm pretty much on the Aff side of this. It seems the only effective response is just more violence these days. We don't have Ghandi here, and even if so, peace activists seem to never get their way. Just more violence (Ugh). It's having to fight fire with fire (or something more powerful, but nothing less than equal to).

The violent revolution seems to be a legitimate form of self defense. I'm not a big fan of violence, but it does seem to be this way.
