Peace is usually not an option in the beginning, and believing so ignores a history of human ideation and mass movement. We are simply not rational enough for immediate peace. However, some ways are better than others at making the violence stop quicker and with the least amount of harm, and Magneto's ideology was not one of them.

peace is always an option, even right in the beginning. Its just we don't remember all those wars that were never fought, all those rights struggles that never had to be struggled for because someone realised "hey, not worth being a dick over" and agreed right away. We don't remember all those times peace was an option, because peace happened. We only remember when it failed, sadly. But it is always an option, even when it fails.

Let me rephrase then. Lots of things are options, that you wouldn't say were options in rational discussion, since they aren't reasonable. Violent tension so very rarely resolves itself into peace, that saying peace is in option in that situation would be akin to saying that we will solve world hunger. We might, but I'm not betting on it. At no point can you rely on it, and that makes all the difference. Violence will happen. It might be short, it might be shocking enough that no more has to happen, but explosive tension is only released one way.
