“Non-violence” and “non-resistance” are not synonyms. Read “The Good Soldier Schweik” for an example of non-violent resistance of the sort that was a big part of the Velvet Revolution.No, I’m not a doctrinaire pacifist, but I do believe in Emerson’s dictum that ‘the end pre-exists in the means’.

According to Rome they never fought an offensive war.
