oh, you mean self-defense against forces that by default oppress us?
There needs to be a redefinition of violence.
The violence of the State is oppression that is forced unto is without our consent & intended to enforce social hierarchies which we never agreed to.
The "violence" of a self-identified anarchist insurgent against their oppressor is not violence but an action any sane, level-headed person would take to cause a type of harm not with the goal of oppressing but of freeing oneself and others oppressed.
Now, we can agree or disagree on which types of actions are effective, strategic, or tactful but these definitions should be default.
