Absolutely not. History has shown that violence works. The Sufragettes protested peacefully for 40 years with no result whatsoever. They won because they became violent. The French revolution was a success because they resorted to violence. The American revolution was a success because they resorted to violence. Peaceful demonstrations don't work, sorry guys.

The French revolution was a success because they resorted to violence.

Are you sure it was a success? How come it seems like people immediately stopped studying French history before Napoleon comes in and tears it all down?

Edit: Oh look its you. I see you.
