Facing the Myth of Redemptive Violence
"The belief that violence “saves” is so successful because it doesn’t seem to be mythic in the least.
Violence simply appears to be the nature of things. It’s what works. It seems inevitable, the last and,

It demands from its devotees an absolute obedience- unto-death."...

Nonviolence (or non-violence) is a set of assumptions about morality, power and conflict that leads its proponents to reject the use of violence in efforts to attain social or political goals. While often used as a synonym for pacifism, since the mid 20th century the term nonviolence has come to embody a diversity of techniques for waging social conflict without the use of violence, as well as the underlying political and philosophical rationale for the use of these techniques.
