"Authoritarian movements thrive on political violence for a number of reasons.

1. It intimidates ordinary people who might otherwise resist.

2. It destabilizes institutions that are supposed to act as guardrails.

3. Because authoritarian movements are not bound by honor or norms, they can exploit any violence for their own ends.

4. Chaos is a ladder."

~ Jonathan V. Last
