Just because things have been horrific up to this point, does not mean that we should want them to continue to be horrific.

Advocating for change against the violent factions of the world, is indeed, a good thing to do.

Wrong. Things stopped being horrific precisely because of the overwhelming amount of weaponry produced by capitalist enterprises on behalf of democratic nations. Continuing the process prevents the horrors from returning.

Also wrong. Any "violent faction" that would listen to you is de facto a good faction, so you are either wasting your time or undermining exactly the factions you should be empowering.
