I'll tell you what, show me a verifiable comparison between the history of nonviolent protest vs. violent protest measuring success compared to fatalities. Until then, your response is speculation at best.

Why don't we ask Tank Man how successful his pacifist protest has been? I'm sure he can speak ad naseum about how successful his protest was as there were zero fatalities.
Oh we can't. No one steps forward to admit being him. Claims of him being executed are speculated.
