Simply put, any definition that serves as a foundation or cornerstone to a movement or ideological belief is completely irrelevant when actions are made in the name of them aren't followed.
"Oh but
Sorry, but definitions do not outweigh actions. And when your actions don't resemble what the movement was built upon, the whole foundation will just crash and burn.

That's not true at all: say, if you're for nonviolence; but you lose your temper when someone calls you a name or something...does that make your pacificism non existent or null en void? Of course not. It means you failed yourself, by your own definition.Β
Β The secret to debating someone isn't to hold them to your standards it's to hold them to their's; because if you can trap them using their own logic and reason, you've nailed them in a coffin.Β

It entirely depends on the views of the ideology or movement. If yourΒ causeΒ opposes violence, butΒ sometimes deem itΒ necessary to end such, then you're still within your beliefs. However, if you are against violence in every form or reason AND THEN commit violence, then yes, you have failed yourself as well as the cause you claim to fight for.
That's exactly what this quote is doing. It's saying that if you advocate for a movement or ideology with specific sets of standards, then you'd better abide them, or else your entire cause means nothing. So I don't know what you're talking about.
