You got a case of cognitive dissonance.
Wrong, I was raised Christian. Resolving one's own cognitive dissonance is how one goes from being a theist to an atheist. In essence this is the first trick every former-theist learns.

If someone breaks into your home (aggression) and is in the process of raping your wife (aggression), the only reasonable response is to extinguish the threat (self-defense).
"Extinguish the threat" sounds a lot like a sociopath's euphemism for murder. I sure hope I'm wrong, but here you have revealed the waiting violence all capitalists hide in their hearts. So two wrongs make a right?

or is such a pacifist that he is unwilling to use the tools (including violence as a last resort) necessary to protect himself and others.
On the contrary my friend. I loathe violence but I wouldn't hesitate to use it to protect myself or my loved ones. But when the revolution comes I'll do everything in my power to prevent the senseless massacre of the elite capitalists I hate so much.
