Agree or disagree? Why?

Disagree. Yes, violence is powerful but there’s more to power than raw force, Charisma, influence, deception, love.. These things are separate from violent force and yet have power all the same. Violence is only one path in the many ways of power. Do we need it? Yes, in some cases we do. In defence and for survival sometimes it’s necessary but to suggest that it transcends other forms of power is where I disagree.
