The Monopoly on Violence

“Behind the deceptive words designed to entice people into supporting violence — words like democracy, freedom, self-defense, national security — there is the reality of enormous wealth in the hands of a few, while billions of people in the world are hungry, sick, homeless.” — Howard Zinn

The monopoly on violence is a concept that States alone have the right to use or authorize the use of physical force. Define State: The Federal or state government and any of its components, dependents, or agencies. Being referred to as a ‘Serf’ ended with the beginning of the modern state. The principal driving force behind the formation of the nation-state was economic, capitalistic growth. Unfortunately, the creation of the state structure leaves much room for authoritarian rule. The power should come from the bottom up meaning we the people should make our own choices and the government being our staff should be there to structure to our needs. We have surrendered unknowingly to a defacto mob. Taxes are used as a tool for compliance with terror. What is left after taxes? borrowing money from federal banks with interest.

The IRS is a privately owned tool used to facilitate government actions

Some things to include that come with modernity are the death penalty, and obligations by law to send children to a state-appointed school or truancy is the outcome. (and the beginning of your child to be introduced to the legal system) I have heard that officials analyze all second graders to determine how many prisons should be built.

Utilizing a monopoly on force: if a police officer stops you you have no right to say I don’t want to deal with you, in a second or in the end they can initiate violence even ending in your own death. We know power corrupts and starts from the top and ends at the bottom. We are at the bottom. You do have rights which of course they do not teach us in our public government indoctrination centers aka schools. In most instances, a police officer has no more right to use deadly force than you or I. The Fourth Amendment certainly protects us, or should.

The state’s role in security has been progressively privatized, from the military to the prison system. The result is a shadowy corporate world in which violence is facilitated, accountability is diminished and human rights violations and impunity abounds.

1,136 people were killed by police in 2021.

More people were killed by police in 2021 than almost any other year in recent history.

97% of people killed by police in 2021 were killed by police shootings.

Officers were charged with a crime in only 12 of these cases. One percent of all killings by police.

Each year, fewer than 3% of killings by police result in officers being charged with a crime.

Most killings began with police responding to suspected non-violent offenses or cases where no crime was reported. 117 people were killed after police stopped them for a traffic violation.

77 people killed by police were unarmed.

Most unarmed people killed by police were people of color.

Black people were more likely to be killed by police, more likely to be unarmed, and less likely to be threatening someone when killed.

Police disproportionately kill Black people, year after year.

Black people were 28% of those killed by police in 2021 despite being only 13% of the population.

It just isn’t sensible to hand over such a deadly deed as the monopoly on violence to an entity where power corrupts. Would it not be smarter just to teach anger management and spirituality starting at a very young age? Additionally, if mankind is taught that they can not handle violence are they not possibly just going to believe that they are inherently evil and act accordingly?

Many people still cling to the idea that the main function of the State is to maintain Equal Freedom, an idea which has already been explored, by showing that the State is the greatest violator of the law – in other words, the greatest criminal. How then can we expect it to protect us? True it affords us certain security against smaller criminals, in order that it may have an excuse for their own crimes.

Not to get too cynical here but if elite politicians are professional criminals that are above the law and have their footsoldiers, doesn’t that make the scenario more like a crime syndicate? Police can not serve two masters and it is clear that we aren’t the ones. On the same note, we have police caught on their own body cams recently not just abusing the rights of peaceful protestors but assaulting them and violating their rights under the constitution. the nation-state is not the political expression of a definite stage in the historical development of the productive forces, but merely a political-military apparatus developed by the bourgeoisie to maintain its economic domination.

“Unless you become more watchful in your states and check the spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges you will, in the end, find that … the control over your dearest interests has passed into the hands of these corporations.”
—Andrew Jackson

Our voting is such that we get treated like what we face is “our own bed” that we made when choices were made. We get handed crappy choices of the best of two evils and that is our destiny. From what we have all seen at this point is an extremely fraudulent voting system that should run on a blockchain to keep it reliable but is yet more comparable to something like a carnival ticket system.

All this is based on an international law legal system created without an arch of sovereignty. In a sense, it mimics the laws of anarchy but corporations and business entities do not pay taxes. State laws not only deal with individualism but also with deals between nations, and international organizations.

“To destroy governmental violence, only one thing is needed: It is that people should understand that the feeling of patriotism, which alone supports that instrument of violence, is a rude, harmful, disgraceful, and bad feeling, and, above all, is immoral.” — Leo Tolstoy

Dehumanization is a necessary process to uphold any war or measure of state violence directed on groups within a society. Whole communities must be labeled as terrorists, criminals, or anything of the sort so that the general public will accept that they become victims of state violence in any form. Often this is an active process we can view in real-time, however, such active dehumanization is generally rooted in the historic dehumanization of a said group. It is easy for the general public to swallow present narratives of dehumanization because they have internalized racist views of the target group of people, however subtle or overt they be. Dehumanization, patriotism, and in-group/out-group rhetoric all go hand in hand.

256 million people have died at the hands of their own government as of today which is more than all wars combined. Usually, this happens directly after the removal of guns this is one reason why our guns are so important.

One of the hardest things to learn about life is to balance things out between what you can do and what you should do. This is where non-compliance by individuals affected by those laws become detrimental to change. What if every voter in the United States unregistered to vote at the same time? What if every parent started homeschooling? What if we set up a barter system with like individuals for our needs? What if every single person turned off the news? What if we demanded officials get audited when their lifestyles highly exceed their income? Lastly, because you get the point…what if everyone quit paying vehicle registration? The answer is change. Change would happen.

An 800-pound gorilla is a term used for a person or organization so powerful it can act without regard to the rights or laws, it could be a corporation a military force, or a business. Major Wall Street financial institutions are the stakeholders of the Federal Reserve which ultimately call the shots on Capitol Hill. As if the state doesn’t hold enough power already it wants more these days and will attain it by firing public sectors and replacing them with the privatization of state assets.

Hillarious that the man in picture is the first to be named by Isaac Kappy as a pedophile in Hollywood.

The opposite of the state is Anarchy. Most people associate anarchy with violence, this is not true. Anarchy does not mean “without control”, but system and control without rulers/rule, ie cooperation without oppression, tyranny, and slavery. The essential thing about “rule” here is coordination, and not domination, which in itself is insignificant in the sense that people can do very well without it, it is a “plague and a nuisance”, the rule is not really needed, belief in the necessity of rulers is a malicious form of alienation and is contradictory to the constitution. I will name a couple of people who were known to have had a big influence in counter of modernization as there are too many to name all.

Proudhon said to be governed is to be watched, spied on, numbered, regulated, indoctrinated, etc by creatures who neither have the right wisdom nor the virtue to do so. Pierre-Joseph Proudhon was a French socialist, politician, philosopher, economist and the founder of mutualist philosophy. He was the first person to declare himself an anarchist, using that term, and is widely regarded as one of anarchism’s most influential theorists. Proudhon is considered by many to be the “father of anarchism”.

Emma Goldman was particularly drawn to the idea of anarchism. She believed that human nature was inherently good and that people would naturally organize communities around common interests. She saw government systems as creating unnecessary competition among well-meaning individuals. Anarchists also believed that with the destruction of the capitalist-driven government, everyone would be equal regardless of gender or race. Emma, however, eventually departed from ideology.

Cutest old lady ever.

Benjamin Tucker was a man who described himself as an unterrified Jeffersonian. Tucker was the editor and publisher of the American individualist anarchist periodical. Tucker’s main idea is the liberty of an individual to control his product or whatever the product has brought him through the exchange in a free market was a priority. Private property should be the right for all to experience.

“The greatest danger to the state is independent intellectual criticism” -Murray n Rothbard.

I think a good point to make before the end of this all is that every system built thus far was based on unlimited resources and seeing as how we do not have those unlimited resources everything needs to change. This is a big job even more so as democracies are falling with shadow governments pushing totalitarianism.

“Dehumanization, although a concrete historical fact, is not a given destiny but the result of an unjust order that engenders violence in the oppressors, which in turn dehumanizes the oppressed.” — Paulo Freire

This is a recent incident in the state of Washington where a man on a bike on the freeway was run over and then tased by police. This was filmed by my son and I shared it with a big radio station in Washington but only two seconds of the clip was shown with zero violence. After watching it air that night we came to find that all he did was steal a bike. Some of the incidents below:
