Look at it this way: You validate everything the state has at its disposal, the laws, the enforcers, the jurists, the executioners by committing violence against any of its agents.

Violent acts anyone here is prepared to commit in the name of some cause do nothing but legitimize state's existence, purpose, and methods.

Think of the state as a concern troll on this bulletin board. What's the best way to deal with a concern troll? Nourish it with a flame war? Or starve it through neglect?

Violence is always wrong.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

For example the australian people are a peace loving people. We are a loving culture. Hate and violence are very unaustralian.

But that doesnt mean an australian doesnt get angry when another australian is hard done by. It'll make us more angry then most people because we love people and we don't want to see them be disrespected.

Australians are anarchist.

Pacifism is objectively pro-Fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side you automatically help that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, "he that is not with me is against me". The idea that you can somehow remain aloof from and superior to the struggle...is a bourgeois illusion bred of money and security. [...] I am not interested in pacifism as a "moral phenomenon". [Those who] imagine that one can somehow "overcome" the German army by lying on one's back [may] go on imagining it, but let them also wonder occasionally whether this is not an illusion due to security, too much money and a simple ignorance of the way in which things actually happen. As an ex-Indian civil servant, it always makes me shout with laughter to hear, for instance, Gandhi named as an example of the success of non-violence. As long as twenty years ago it was cynically admitted in Anglo-Indian circles that Gandhi was very useful to the British government. So he will be to the Japanese if they get there. Despotic governments can stand "moral force" till the cows come home; what they fear is physical force.
