JEAN-PAUL SARTRE: For in the first days of the revolt you must kill: to shoot down a European is to kill two birds with one stone, to destroy an oppressor and the man he oppresses at the same time

from Yuri Bezmenov's Ghost,

When you read Fanon, Sartre, Lenin, etc, the violence of leftist praxis is not hidden. For ex., take Sartre: "For in the first days of the revolt you must kill: to shoot down a European is to kill two birds with one stone, to destroy an oppressor and the man he oppresses at the same time: there remain a dead man, and a free man; the survivor, for the first time, feels a national soil under his foot."  For Fanon, decolonization is very clearly a violent phenomenon. 

from Shatov,

"Decolonization is always a violent phenomenon. At the level of individuals, violence is a cleansing force. It frees the native from his inferiority complex and from his despair and inaction; it makes him fearless and restores his self-respect." --The Wretched of the Earth, Franz Fanon, 1961.

Reflections on Violence, Georges Sorel [1847-1922], 1908.

Reflections on Violence (French: Réflexions sur la violence), published in 1908, is a book by the French revolutionary syndicalist Georges Sorel on class struggle and revolution.[1] Sorel is known for his theory that political revolution depends on the proletariat organizing violent uprisings and strikes to  institute syndicalism, an economic system in which syndicats (self-organizing groups of only proletarians) truly represent the needs of the working class.[3]

One of Sorel's most controversial claims was that violence could save the world from "barbarism".  He equated violence with life, creativity, and virtue.[2] This served as the foundation for fascism as it broke away from its international socialism roots to become nationalistic.
