frandroid did not appear to be complaining about the violence of the state. They were talking about harnessing it, which is the purpose of the violence of the state.

Thank you for the detailed explanation- while I don’t agree with your position for the reason stated, I fully understand where you are coming from.

I still am smarting from the downvotes on my innocuous request for an explanation though.

Open explanation requests often get downvotes, you usually have to show how far you understand what was meant, like you finally did above. Humour is also often frowned upon if it's not 105% on topic. It's a picky crowd...
