That is simply not true. Violence is the last resort, and many movements were successful before that. Violence can be effective, but needs to be measured. You must get people on your side, and you won’t achieve that through murder.
Of course it’s more complicated, but in general, to effect lasting change, you need widespread support and a good narrative, just look at MAGA. They didn’t kill people to get into power, they were elected. Now that they are in power, they have legitimacy and can start disposing of the undesirables however they want, slowly turning up the heat.
Untrue, naked violence has solved more conflicts in this world than anything else so yeah

You will rarely achieve love through hate.
