What kind of peace?

Graveyard is also very "peaceful" i.e all you hear is silence.

Also, once we physically eliminate those who opposes our domination (or) silence them so thoroughly they are forced to know their place is also called "peace" — not just by ruling class but the so called "peace activists".

Would any person who cares about one's & next person's dignity be for that kind of "peace"?

There are always situations where we don't get what we do want & it's okay to acknowledge we don't get what we want, yet we swallow it because we are forced into such a situation & the dominating class has the power to make our lives even more miserable if we don't accept this kind of "peace".

It's okay to acknowledge the fact that there is no dignity in any system of hierarchy as dignity is a egalitarian concept (atleast the definition that deals with self-respect). The moment this moves from self-respect to feeling oppressed because they are not under our thumb, then it's about domination not self-respect. The line is thin & hard to distinguish but the line exits.

What passes off as "dignity" by those with power against those without power in today's system of hierarchy are all entitlements of domination euphemistically called "dignity".

The least we can do is stop lying to oneself that keeping next person under our thumb is actually peace.

We had enough this kind of "peace" without dignity thru out history & even now in every system of hierarchy — some far more visible than others but they are omni present.

What we need is not peace of graveyard but fight of dignity & real peace that flows when no one can oppress anyone else — even if one of us want to.

Such peace cannot be granted by anyone rather it has to be taken by us, one that we guarantee to each other, one that flows horizontally rather than vertically. Such peace won't come without actual physical fight with the proponents & beneficiaries of this vertical form of domination i.e "peace" as they lose the ability to dominate & control when this other non-dominating form of peace is established.

What we need is this non-dominating horizontal form of peace, I will kick you in nuts if you attempt to/actually dominate kind of peace.

What we need is the peace of Anarchy.
