Can you be more specific where Marx advocates for a violent revolution in his writings? I don't think word "revolution" (or even his usage of "dictatorship of proletariat") by itself implies violence (cf. "scientific revolution").

But I think there are people who consider forceful redistribution of ownership to be violence, even if no human is actually physically harmed in the process. I don't and I think there is a distinction to be made.

Edit: Nevermind, there's a lot of interesting debate about this on the Internet.
