A friend wants an example where violence ever resulted in anything positive. How about the civil rights movement, the labor movement, the voting rights movement, the post WW 1 veterans movement, the American Revolution and World War II?
The best explanation I have heard for why the rich allowed the poor and middle classes to advance between 1917 - 1970 was because of genuine fear of violent revolution. Once that fear went away, they returned to their previous policy of "we get everything, you get nothing".
This is certainly not an original idea.
