Semi-Hemi-DemigodImagine thinking you can have private property without a central government to enforce it
You don’t need a government, you just need violence
And what is a government but legitimized violence?
I agree with you there. My point is that a government is not needed to have private property. Governments are inherently violent, but you can be violent without a government.
Where is the line drawn between a government and a legitimized systemic form of violence?
There is no line, legitimate violence is just one of the services a government is expected to perform
It’s only “expected” to perform other services because its violence prevents us from doing those things apart from it.
If you want to pave roads, build bridges, and run charities, the government won’t stop you
I’m pretty sure all 3 of those require government permission and oversight. At least in the US.
As already pointed out, it absolutely will stop you. Also, try doing any of those things on land claimed by private entities such as capitalists, and watch how quickly the state’s goons arrest and/or shoot you.
