And that’s a world you want to live in? Where you have to defend yourself from violent people? The point was not what if your neighbor is more violent, I just said that because it worked well as a response, and most people would understand. What about when your neighbor is more capable of inflicting violence? More skilled with firefights, or physically stronger? The powerful end up with all the stuff.
What do you do when your neighbor is more violent than you?

Defend myself? I’m not sure I get your point.

How is that any different with capitalism now? The state just legitimizes that, it doesn’t stop anything. Private property and the state need to go.
