In Violence, "What matters is the realization that underlying ‘civilization’ is violence, violence, violence…” structurally (ontologically), the catastrophe is represented with a series of antagonisms which correspond to one another, the "Architectural Parallax" (it's volatility) as he calls it, of which we are part.

I think his distinction between symbolic and systemic violence and the consequent call for action are really the basis of it all. Call him a Marxist if you think it is an anti-capitalist ideal, or a psychoanalyst if you think it is about facing repression, it does not matter. What matters is the realisation that underlying 'civilization' is violence, violence, violence...
