Violence is a currency.
It is the most powerful currency our species has, its how we are wired as great apes.
The funny thing is while we claim to abhor violence it is perhaps the very reason we have civilization in the first place. A clan, becomes a tribe, becomes a nation, for power and protection. To do violence unto others while protecting itself from others.
To deny its importance is to deny our heritage, and even trying to change it may well be folly as those who don't change will have the currency the pacifists lack.
