Wirecard hired actors to fool auditors

This is naive. Violence is the last resort. If the stakes are high enough and you’ve tried everything else, violence is the only remaining option.

Sometimes actions don't need to be acceptable, they just need to be impactful.

But one cannot be competent all the time.

Sometimes it's better to punch someone in the nose Monday to avoid a shootout on Friday.

My post was a response to "even the slightest acceptance of violence usage against capitalists". So please take your straw man somewhere else.

Not always, but sometimes they do.

When it comes to clear cut cases of survival, do whatever you have to do.

The problem is when the scenarios are not nearly so clear cut - even if they may seem to be to the people in the scenario at the time.
