Violence does not help the victim

The State is legalised violence

According to the State violence is acceptable... Unless it acts in a way which is in contradiction to its beliefs, the State thinks that violence is an acceptable and reasonable means to resolve problems. It uses violence to solve all the problems which it is confronted with. Indeed, the State can be defined by any violent act within a Society which is seen as legitimate.


It is the most powerful gang... and is a burden on those who have chosen to lead a life outside violence, just as illegal gangs are. The legitimacy of the State rests on the use of violence only.

People only care about Politicians because they are scared of violence (be it of the State or another gang, external or internal). Peaceful co-existence allows all participants to refuse what they are offered.

Since it does not help the victim, there is no reason for the citizens of a country to be violent towards themselves... just as there is no reason for an individual to be so.
