No reason to force a false dichotomy, I don't think anyone here is saying that violence is the answer to every problem. Just that sometimes it's the only appropriate response to people who are themselves willing to do violence.
That's the entire point of fascism. Fascist don't actually care about actually swaying everyone to their ideology. All they have to do is achieve a monopoly of violence and use it to make sure people are too afraid to stand up to them.
A confident claim from someone who's likely never experienced the level violence that can be levied by an oppressive regime.
