Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

Tony argues that the association between anarchism and violence is unwarranted because very few anarchists have been violent whereas very many adherents of other ideologies have been violent. Keisha points out that the small number of violent anarchists may be explained by the small number of total anarchists. Hence, it may be possible that the proportion of violent anarchists is large when compared to other ideologies.

Describe Method of Reasoning

Keisha weakens Tony’s argument. She does this by pointing out that even if violent anarchists are outnumbered by the violent adherents of other ideologies, the proportion of violent anarchists might be greater than the proportion of violent adherents of other ideologies.
