I used to be a pacifist (I even worked as a consultant for WRI at a time), but then I became a pessimist...

there are some people you can use diplomacy with, and others that you have to fight...i prefer the plowshare just like anyone else would but using a sword is necessary too.

Are we interpreting plowing as "doing the manual labor for" or as "owning the fields and able to get benefit from them?"

yes, either to feed those who protect them with their swords, or to prevent those who have swords from killing them....
Something about "universal peace" happening spontaneously only in the complete absence of humans, or at least those infected with "human nature"
