Great piece, thank you! For me, this question (well more broadly, violence to pursue political aims, which is essentially war) is most interestingly grappled with in two essays by György Lukács: “Bolshevism as an Ethical Problem” (1918) and “Tactics and Ethics” (1919).

Hi Charles,
Thanks for this! I'll have to take a look into these two writings. I've been meaning to read Lukacs for years!
