Principals of Violence

Drinks flow
People forget
That big wheel spins
The hair thins
People forget
Forget they're hiding
--The Who

Most people do not view themselves as violent or aggressive. Instead, they view themselves as peaceful.

However, government is force, and those who condone the activities of the modern state are proponents of the use of offensive force.

The 'government' label, then, can be seen as serving a euphemistic purpose. By excluding the concept of force from the word, statists rationalize that they are not acting aggressively on others when they condone government programs.

But they surely are. They may not be pointing the guns, but their hired agents are.

Statists are principals of violence who exert force on others via agents of aggression.
