But isn&#x27;t that true for any law? Fraud and theft can only be prevented or the perpetrators punished by armed state actors (policemen). That does not mean the entire judicial system is violent.<p>In fact, this usage of the term &#x27;violence&#x27; is confusing and likely incorrect. The same reasoning can be used to say stuff like &#x27;Law is violence. Freedom is violence. Business is violence.&#x27; Since each of those are run by laws enforced by policemen and armed federal agents.
