It's almost like violence and persuasion are BOTH tools with applications in fighting oppression, rather than picking one or the other as The One True Faith(tm)? 🤯 (lemmy.world)

I would suggest that the oppressors found it no longer beneficial because many of the oppressors' recruitment pool for the instruments of oppression had changes of heart.

I would not count on the 'hearts' of those in power under any circumstances, but if you consider oppression to be imposed by society, then there are many oppressors whose opinions can be swayed, even if violence should not be surrendered as an additional, conditional, or potential tool.
