Its an Anarchist thing, you wouldn’t get it.

Super simple version?

Violence is defined by the state in such a way that it binds the actions of its subjects, but exempts the actions of itself/its agents.

Look up ‘systemic violence’ or ‘stochastic terrorism’ and you can begin to see how it becomes harder to draw very clear lines than you seem to think is.

Lets go with your definition that violence includes acts against property.

Ok… are… taxes violence?

Is it violent to threaten you with immediate arrest if found operating a car without a valid liscense?

Howabout valid insurance?

Is civil asset forfeiture violence?

Is emminent domain violence?

Howabout clearing a homeless encampment, destroying all their belongings?

Is that violent?

Is it violent to, either intentionally or unintentionally… crash the stock market and knock about 20% off of the value of 401ks of the majority of the population?
