He also did mention the foundation of society is built on lies. So mentioning what goes on in the workplace would not apply to this as it sounds like they are trying to open minds to the errors of society. But Galen would know more about this of course. I am merely just learning about it from him. But that is what I am getting from it anyway.

The state claims a monopoly on the use of violence to enforce its edicts and to fund itself. If an individual without the proper costume did this then everyone here would recognize that person as a criminal. This is the the fundamental truth that almost everyone ignores.

We can do it through a vote. No, not saying this applies to Eric. This can apply to either side. It just depends on what a party's policies are, who gets the short end of the stick and who they piss off internationally or nationally in some cases through history.

Eric the Obtuse sees the state as a convenient way to steal for him. He gets to avoid the nasty violent bits and claim that he did not commit any violence himself. Sadly, this attitude is very common among people regardless of political party. At least a real thief, or freelance socialist helping themselves to a share of the wealth, has enough spine to the deed themselves.
