    The last thing the working classes of the world needs is for the owner class to have a monopoly on violence.

      Which is solved by … cartels? Private gun ownership? Terrorist/freedom-fighter groups?

      Warlords have monopolies on violence and even that is through terror, not actual power.

      The working class is just always so much larger than the ruling class (if it weren’t, there wouldn’t be an inequality problem to begin with).
