Redemptive violence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Redemptive violence is defined as a belief that "violence is a useful mechanism for control and order",[1] or, alternately, a belief in "using violence to rid and save the world from evil".[2] The French Revolution involved violence that was depicted as redemptive by revolutionaries,[3][4] and decolonization theorist Frantz Fanon was an advocate of redemptive violence.[5] Pacifism rejects the idea that violence can be redemptive.[6][7]
