Non-violence is not the solution the non aggression principle is. If you are non-violent every violent group can just kill you and take the product of your labor. If you follow the NAP you can defend yourself against these people with violence and with non violent normal people you are peaceful.

Well, the best defense is a good offense so if some one is going to be aggressive against you, you need to be aggressive first! Just kidding! I don't think there is anything wrong with the non-aggression principle. Like I said, it is actually what I practice. I do however envision a future without even the need for self defense. This is an ideal. Not only is it possible, it is inevitable. I don't expect you to believe this, but it will happen. It is what we are evolving towards.
The only major violence I have encountered since I decided to practice ahimsa was the violence of the state. I mounted a defense and my defense served me well, but I believe there is a better way - a way in which I am never aggressed against in the first place.
