If you think about it, law and statehood (and consequently monetary policy) is how violence is frozen into a stable, sustainable order First it is Kinetic Violence which gets transmuted into Potential Violence

Wdyt happens when monetary policy is decoupled? Can the state continue to have the biggest stick?

Sometimes, to lock in decades of oppression, they don’t even bother hiding it they straight up murder, execute, and crush people without a second thought ! They don’t see any reason to pretend they’re not a dictatorship Meanwhile, the whole world, instead of doing anything real, just slaps sanctions on them , which, funny enough, only hands the regime an even bigger stick to beat people down with Especially when the country’s sitting on oceans of oil, gas, and minerals … all of it looted and trafficked by the elites and their cronies, while regular people get poorer and hungrier by the day

Maybe. Another perspective is that if an armed gang gets powerful enough it needs those trappings which are basically just upgrades of The Code and parlay structure and turf that any gang has.

"Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just the promise of violence that’s enacted and the police are basically an occupying army. "

I'd argue that there's always Potential Violence irrespective of law and statehood. Kinetic Violence is usually a survival strategy - arising from fear of losing ones own life and/or dignity. If we are in a systems transition (i think we are), the question is how to distribute dignity and the capacity to hold Potential Violence without allowing fear to transmute it into Kinetic Violence, whilst things are uncertain(fear-inducing). Voices of resolute and grounded respect for life and the capacity for violence only when needed, seem important to me. I'm not going to surrender to the idea that all out Kinetic Violence is inevitable. Humans are both the same and different than they have been before. What do you think?
