Always remember that democracy was born from violence. Fascism attempts to appropriate all things and deny them to others.

Democracy was born from thought, it was enforced with violence.

Democracy doesn't just come from a single thing, it's comes from a combination of different ideas and actions.

Thought is the mommy, violence is the daddy. Let's not fight and be one big happy family

I prefer democracy defended itself with violence when it had no other choice.
