If we cannot cooperate, then we can either surrender, or conquer. It is cheapest to surrender. But it is a theft from all those who did not surrender before you. And when they saved in the past, for you to consume in the present, they did so at much higher cost to themselves. So the only solution is to conquer. Out of self defense.

Violence is the only solution.
