Violent revolution is only valid when it is against a government that does not protect the human rights


Violent revolution is valid only when it is against a government that does not protect the human rights of the majority of people, people who believe in democracy, which is the best form of government for all people.

It is understood that some people might not like democracy when it goes against their own desires and economic or religious beliefs, but one's own beliefs also should not conflict with the others unless the belief forces someone to change their beliefs or persecutes them. This should go both ways in order to keep peace and tranquility. No person's beliefs should be forced on another person unless the belief in question is physically harmful to others. Then a democratic government should step in. This is why the separation of church and state is maintained, so that the whims of a few do not obstruct the many.
