Aikido and Self-Defense

Nonviolence is not a principle that I impose on situations like oh you should be nonviolent no matter what the circumstance. It's rather a perspective that asks how do the tactics we use also reveal the kind of world we want to make so you could see it perhaps in the in the tradition of of prefiguration within Marxist theory. A number of the Ukrainian feminists I spoke to are still they're still holding out for a nonviolent world.
