"Peace can only be achieved through war"

 "Peace can only be achieved through war" is a paradox that, for certain ideologues, embodies the belief that enduring peace is the product of purging conflict. In their view, true peace is not the absence of conflict, but the result of a profound struggle against forces that they perceive as antithetical to the natural or rightful order of society. 

 In such a worldview, peace is envisioned as a state of homogeneity, where a singular, unchallenged set of values prevails. It is a peace where opposition is eradicated, where discord is silenced, and where the collective body has been purified of perceived internal and external threats. This peace is seen not as coexistence with difference, but rather as the domination of one ideology, one vision for humanity, under which dissent is systematically eradicated.

 War, in this context, is not merely a military endeavor but a purifying force. It is a struggle that cleanses society of what is viewed as degeneracy, corruption, or weakness. War is seen as a necessary process, a crucible in which the strong and the righteous triumph over the weak and the corrupt. In their view, only through conflict and the destruction of the "undesirable" elements can a lasting and unchallenged peace be established—a peace they regard as natural and inevitable once the forces of disorder are subjugated.

 This notion of peace through war reflects a philosophy that is deeply rooted in division: the belief that enduring stability can only emerge from the ashes of total conflict, where opposition has been annihilated and a single, dominant order is allowed to flourish. Thus, "war" becomes not a tragedy to be avoided, but an instrument through which an idealized and eternal peace is forged.
