We don't need to go into details about the harm of war. The Mohists know that the most serious harm from war is not the kings and nobles, but the common people who only want to survive. The Mohists, who have a heart of universal love, are naturally opposed to wars, especially wars of aggression. War was inevitable, and the Mohists did not support taking the initiative to attack, so they had to fight defensively. Perhaps the Mohist adheres to the principle that "defense is the best attack", but in my opinion, the Mohist's non-offensive has negative thoughts. The reason why Mohism was not accepted by the elites was that it did not govern the country with domineering, and would not take the initiative to attack by force. I think most rights are obtained by "offensive". If you blindly defend, you will not be able to get the chance to win, which is not good for the safety of a country.
