Cmv: political action is crime and one day people will we amazed that it had been the norm:
There are hundreds of states on the planet and all of them engage extensively in initiating aggression against the individuals they control. 

Sometimes state's violence is in response to violence initiated by individuals and then it can be justified. For example – imprisoning a murderer.  

A lot of the time, it is the state that initiates the violence. Yet most people do not see the aggression initiated by the state as problematic. For most people a shop robbery is wrong. But taxation is justified on the basis of a "social contract" or other vague concept.

We invent euphemisms to give state action legitimacy. For example we say “drafted” when we could say “slave soldier” or “drug confiscation” when we could say “theft of herbs”. These euphemisms muddy the emotions people feel when they encounter these situations.

One day, people will look at our society run by politicians using violence and it will be as incomprehensible to them as Spanish inquisition is to us.
