He wrote further on: "The right to use physical force is ascribed to other institutions or individuals only to the extent to which the state permits it." The state judges what violence is LEGAL, and often without a monopoly. This allows the state to permit and regulate violence by lesser governments and private parties, as well as making some of its own violence legal. We deliberately delegate much violence to the public state, because private parties are too partial when unregulated. Not to mention states are only local monopolies: there are 100+ states to choose from. | show=}} |
