The Government is an organisation which will do violence against other people because it has been voted for and is popular. It is a form of transferred violence, being done not by those who wish to do the stealing, or other crime, but instead by those who are employed to do so by the Government. It is a form of violence transferred.
If people want to do violence, is it not best that they suffer the (natural) negative consequences directly? What right have we to alter the behaviour of a violent gang and yet claim not to be violent? Let the one who desires the violence be the aggressor!
The Government is the means by which violence is formalised in Society. It is the (required?) dose, level of violence and crime, but of course we might not need crime at all. We might say that we need Government like a hole in the head. Does a pedestrian need a mugger to take their mobile phone from them? The Government is crime, why not have no crime at all and just have peace?
Is it better to be a criminal or to offer the chance to refuse? Those who do good and help others are better, are they not?
