Tolstoy argues that revolutions that use violence to shatter evil power will not succeed and will only make the mass denser and less permeable. He states that disruptive movement must come from within, not through external hammering upon the mass from without.

19. Revolutions are an attempt to shatter the
power of evil by violence. [We] think that by
hammering upon the mass [we] will be able to
break it into fragments. This only makes it
more dense and impermeable. Disruptive
movement must come from within.
– LEO TOLSTOY
