Isn’t all violence political? I like to play a game where I try to tie all the problems in society back to capitalism. It’s fun. You should try it.
No. A lot of violence is done for personal gain or anger/revenge.
Caused by material conditions not met by capitalism
I'm sure you could make an argument that like "my girlfriend broke up with me so I shot her new boyfriend" is because of capitalism, but I'm not sure I'd buy it. Pun intended.
Good one
