2/ originally communities enforced their own rules. subsequently the state took over part, and then the whole of it,
ascribing itself the monopoly on violence. so far so good.
3/ however subsequently the state washed off its hands from enforcing certain rules that the communities want enforced --
-- and also prevents the communities from enforcing the rules on their own. monopoly on violence holds.
4/ that created a vacuum: certain rules won't be enforced by state for ideological reasons, nor by communities(*) because the liberal democracy is *total* and holds a dead grip on the monopoly of violence.
where do we go from here?
(*) certain exceptions apply, obviously 🤡
