That one idea, of many.
It’s the core concept of the thing, with the first premise being a monopoly on violence.
It’s not hypocritical for a government to say it’s not wrong when they do violence and it is wrong when others do it.
A government may commit moral or immoral violence, or express moral or immoral values in its actions.
But it’s not hypocrisy to not want competition. It’s the point of the thing.
