One could have argued for that same premise for the "government" in the dark ages. At what point does an entity have to obtain enormous power over everyday life to become seen as a "government"? And at what point do we allow our basic lives to become so censored by corporations before we acknowledge it as hampering our first amendment?

legitimate use of force
Explain this. What would you consider "legitimate"? Next question.
And try not to sound like such an arrogant piece of shit next time you hand-wave difficult questions which challenge your perception of right and wrong.

Sorry I was an ass. But I do really think your question has had a very good answer for over 300 years. What is considered legitimate is necessarily a subjective call, and will differ from community to community.
