Why would I think that?
I'm saying that from the violence monopoly everything else is upheld by a first principle approach. If the state is overthrown the violence monopoly is either upheld by a new group, or you have no governing state.
- deathgrips 6y agoDo you think people have the right to use violence for self defense? If so, who can people defend themselves from? Who can't they defend themselves from?
