“Having more than you need while others have less than they need is violence”
Agree
- Hoarding resources kills people through deprivation
- Passive violence is still violence with casualties
- Surplus in one place creates scarcity elsewhere
- Inaction in the face of suffering is choice
Disagree
- Violence requires active harm not passive existence
- No one owes strangers their personal property
- Word loses meaning with such broad definition
- Creating wealth doesn't steal from others
