Wrong.
Nonviolent protest works if and only if there exists another allied faction to force the threat of violence.
Without violence you will simply be ignored because you have power.
Can you point to a single instance in all of human history where real charge was won without violence? It doesn't exist. Even in our modern gay times filled with bullshit "civil rights" initiatives, all their gains are at the tail end of terrorism campaigns.
The formation of the EU was neither a populist movement nor a real change of power. It was merely a consolidation of power by the nouveau nobility.
By their own account it came about as a reaction to the wars and violence from the previous few decades. Those wars gave the elite a justification for further power grabs.
