Also consider NKVD and how in Stalin’s USSR the enormous (real) trust Soviet state and revolutionary ideology had were spent on violence that weakened and poisoned the skeleton of that project before WWII fractured it. And then basically till USSR’s end it was mimicking its own alternative self that didn’t transpire because of repressions and war.

If you have a mechanism that doesn’t work right, repeatedly hitting it with a heavy object is the least likely approach to succeed.

Approval of violence is that.

Also see Lao-Tzu, “one who excels in fighting is never roused in anger”.
