Anti-War

You believe in promoting peace, diplomacy, and nonviolent solutions to conflicts in order to prevent unnecessary suffering and destruction.

The Anti-War political ideology, as the name suggests, is a belief system that opposes war and advocates for peace. It is a broad spectrum of views that reject the use of violence and military conflict, often promoting nonviolent resistance, diplomacy, and pacifism as alternatives.

Do you think the human race will ever reach a point where war is obsolete?

 @9HDHN2Hanswered…1yr1Y

No, there will always be those with power who will do anything to achieve their ideology or personal benefit

 @9K45HKFLabor answered…1yr1Y

The aim will be to achieve this in time although it seems to be lingering as a possibility for now and not obsolete yet

There are always power hungry people who do not care about the safety of others and will use all means necessary to get what they want. There will always be people who want wars. Creating governments that discourage violence and conflict can mitigate this as much as possible, but I think it is impossible for war to ever be obsolete. Whether fighting for good, or fighting against bad, protecting people's safety will always be an issue, and thus war will always be an issue.

 @9K7YPHNLabordisagreed…1yr1Y

No. Everything is subjective and although people are able to change their perspective on life, others gain conflicting perspectives. Everything is constantly changing and evolving.

 @9K44CHJGreenanswered…1yr1Y

yes, once all the greedy and horrid "leaders" in charge of coutries are out of the government

 @9KB5B55disagreed…1yr1Y

Though war should never be inflicted on a country or individuals, conflict will exist regardless of the type of leaders, thus resulting in miscommunication and the unfortunate possibility of war.

 @9KB5C5YGreendisagreed…1yr1Y

Conflict is instinctually human; built in. History always repeats itself, and unfortunately, power hungry, greedy 'leaders' will always find a way to rise. I believe in free religious expression for the most part, and unfortunately conflicting religions will often end war.

 @9HGTMJXanswered…1yr1Y

There will always be though who want war, yet we should always seek to avoid it. I don't think we will ever achieve it, but we should be aiming to.
