    Every fuckin day, bud. It has quite literally never happened without it.

    Yes, quite sure

    Those are billion-dollar psyop campaigns run by the largest and most well-funded intelligence agencies in the world.

        Individuals give up their personal wealth every day for a variety of reasons, but the capitalist class writ large has never once been abolished or ceded power to the working class without explicit or implicit threat of violence.

        But even then, a single person using their immense fortune to create a social benefit system is still a threat of violence against capital, and can be used to extract concessions from the capital class. Maybe you’re thinking of violence as physical, but I’m using it to mean any great force capable of compelling action.
