So self defense isn't violence?

Sweet.

@Dhowjen

I agree that's some kind of exception to the argument.

@wjmaggos @Dhowjen What about violence for survival? i.e. fighting over limited resources. I don't really think that's directly self-defense and it also doesn't fit with this quote

"All *unnecessary* violence..."?

"All *illegitimate* violence..."?
