Violence is real. You dont have to like it, but it is. The sole purpose of government should be to monopolize violence for the purpose of defending citizens from it. The problem is when people ask government to do more. They then use that violence because that's what they are for. They're meant use a gun when necessary to protect you from violence, but that mentality will always creep in when enforcing other things they never should have been involved in. People keep expecting more and more and give them power to wield violence against other citizens.

I never understand this argument. Do you think it would be better if violence was just dispersed to every citizen? We just shoot each other to solve disputes? Because that's what no legal monopoly on violence looks like.

And if you say no, that we should have courts instead of shooting each other for contract violations, then how are those decisions enforced? What happens if someone refuses to listen to a court? Prison? Who puts them there?

Anarchy isn't a real solution to people asking or allowing government to do too much.
