You gotta start killing people dude. History shows that’s how you get your way.
Gonna copy-pasta myself here as to not waste my breath:
Look around - the violence is already here, it has been inflicted on to the working class for centuries, killing hundreds of millions (at least, in all that time) for profit in war, with hunger and restricted access to water, with homelessness and poverty, with preventable disease, with climate change, with immoral laws and entire systems designed to keep large segments of the population as slave labour, which is what they used to gain their power and wealth to be in the position to impose all of this in the first place. And all that just off the top of my head, there is so much more violence that is inflicted on us daily, they’ve just got most people convinced that’s just life, when it really really isn’t. And those who actually benefit are never just going to give all of that up.

Not entirely true, there have been peaceful movements (though rare) like Gandhi’s Ahimsa movement
Did it work on its own or did it only work as a contrast to violence?
If the latter, then the violence is what forced change and Ghabdi’s movement allowed for an acceptable avenue for the change.
Whitewashed nonsense every bit as much as the modern teaching that Martin Luther King, Jr achieved the goals of the Civil Rights Movement in the US single handedly through nonviolence rather than against the backdrop of Fred Hampton and Malcolm X.
Gandhi achieved nothing without Bhagat Singh and Subhas Chandra Bose, but interestingly enough Western powers don’t like to teach you about those two names.
“Give me blood, and I will give you freedom.”
