Idea purchased in blood and pain are not worth the asking price. This conceit of an optimal ordering is nothing more than utilitarian teleology. I fail to see what good your propose to discover by being an accessory in the subjugation of more than half of humanity and wish no further part of this conversation.

By this logic democracy isn't worth it. Should we succumb instead to the wishes of strongmen willing to use violence in the name of pacifism? It is not by accident that one of the first things to go when a totalitarian regime takes power is freedom of speech.

You persist in equating violence against oppression with oppressive violence and making excuses for incitements to rape, enslavement and murder. No liberty or social good has ever been raped into existence.
