Just on violence: you probably heard this argument in the video linked earlier, but all political ideologies are violent - they only differ in what circumstances violence is seen as acceptable.

In the current dominant world, it’s seen as acceptable that armies may use violence to secure borders, and to invade other countries to take their resources. It’s seen as acceptable that the police can use violence to protect private property, or against striking workers or protestors. Violence is used especially against minority groups within the working class - such as black people, LGBT, people with mental health issues. It can also be said that private prisons, the conditions which create homelessness, environmental destruction, or denying sick people basic healthcare are all forms of violence.

Unfortunately none of us get to just opt out of choosing an ideology or just being “non-violent” as it’s happening all around us.
