Violence is a calm that disturbs you. Jean Genet

is a cleansing force which is required in anticolonial movements in order to effect the expulsion of the colonizer and the mental 'decolonization' of the native oppressed (making him fearless and self-respecting).

Fanon believed that anticolonial violence was required in order to achieve two intimately connected objectives: the expulsion of the colonizer and the mental 'decolonization' of native Algerians. To Fanon, this latter aim was fundamental because institutional independence from the colonizer would mean little if the people remained psychologically trapped within a self-image as colonized, dehumanized objects. Fanon observed that Algerians were indeed violent under colonial rule, but this violence was directed toward other Algerians as an expression of self-hatred in which 'black-on-black' violence represented a futile effort to negate the dehumanized identity imposed upon them. In the movement, led by the FLN, to redirect this violence toward the colonizer, Fanon conceived of a way to construct and affirm a positive political identity infused with a national consciousness liberated from the colonized mindset: 'At the level of individuals, violence is a cleansing force. It frees the native from his inferiority complex and from his despair and inaction... it makes him fearless and restores his self-respect' (Fanon 1963, p. 94).

is a concomitance or consequence of force, but not a constituent element.

Deleuze (1988, 70... emphasis in original) says that, for Foucault, violence is 'a concomitance or consequence of force, but not a constituent element.' This is to say that 'force relations' will always produce violence, but violence is not part of what makes something a force relation-- open violence is not required all the time, but it is sure to happen sometimes where power is concerned. Foucault stipulates in 'The Subject and Power' that power and violence are quite different things, but that does not mean that you can have one without the other' (Kelly, Mark G.E. The Political Philosophy of Michel Foucault p.58)

is a hereditary disease... a kind of pugnacity bred into our bones and marrow by our ancestors.

is a language, a mere means of expression that some unfortunately chose to express themselves through.

I never felt any attraction towards violence. I never tried to express myself through violence. Violence is a language. Elie Wiesel

is a learned behavior. One of the best classrooms for learning violence is in the home.

We recognize that violence is a learned behavior. One of the best classrooms for learning violence is in the home. Janet Reno

is a pervasive evil. All efforts to judge or classify the 'other' constitute violence against individual uniqueness, and love and justice require openness, unconditional acceptance.

For Derrida, violence is a pervasive evil. All efforts to judge or classify the 'other' constitute violence against individual uniqueness, and love and justice require openness, unconditional acceptance. Yet, absolute openness is an impossible ideal. Derrida knows that all social and cultural orders classify, and by his theory they all contain the seeds of violence as a result. Human beings are inevitably locked within a violent order that can at best only be ameliorated, usually by acts of counterviolence.
