can positive things be brought through violence?

Can positive changes be brought about through violence? From my point of view, it depends on what the situation and conflict are. Is it a major conflict or a calm situation? Politically speaking, most of the times positive change be brought through violence only. For example, in politics, everyone wants power, and when that person gets it, he has it of himself. And this is where the violence licks in. A historical event that might relate to this would be the Rebellions of 1837, when Britain had all the power in Quebec but later people fought for justice and democracy.

  But not all positive changes are brought through violence? When violence gets to rough, negotiation comes in handy. Negotiation is another way people can bring positive changes, and equality. Often when people are angry, they will start fighting, but discussing the issue, and finding the solution is the best way to handle this situation. In the past, during 1830's many people thought equality or positive changes could be done from negotiation, but when they started to realize this is not working, they moved to violence. So if one way doesn't work, try the other
