Way to much for me to read in one sitting, but feel the need to throw in my 2 cents. Will is the source of power, not violence. Violence is just one means of expressing that will. A very effective one, at that. But it only works against those that don't have the will to stand up against it. Power, in it's usage here, would be best described as control of another person or group. How you gain that control does not matter. That is just an expression of your will. If you can show, through violence or any other means, that your will is stronger, then you have the power. Violence is just a means to an end. I can't help but think of a Robert Hienlein quote. "you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him"
