Next thing destruction of property is also called violence.
Let's think of the abolition of slavery as an example. This was a huge, important change that came about by civil resistance: slave owners were mostly backed by law during the period of resistance.
It was not non-violent, especially if destruction of property (e.g. freeing a slave) is counted as an act of violence against the slave owner/ law. I do not believe this change was easier to provoke non-violently and/or non-property-destructively.

- tim333 7y agoIf you are going to count freeing slaves as violent then you have an odd definition of violence.
- cies 7y agoIt was "loss of property" by law... It's not my def, it's the def-by-law of those days.
