    pacifism/non-violence, which sanctions violence performed by the state

    Maybe this is a silly nitpick, but: you can say it unintentionally empowers or enables state violence, but it doesn’t sanction state violence. (FWIW I’m not a pacifist)

      I’d say that’s a meaningless distinction, and that actions speak louder than words. But as you will.
