Political violence is political violence in my opinion

"We want to do violence to install a fascist regime" and "we might have to use violence to stop those people from installing a fascist regime" are not the same thing.

In your opinion what might be something that would cause you to use violence in a situation like that? What would it have to look like for you to actually perform a violent act?
