Watch closely, Obama actually says, “You are privatizing something that is what essentially sets a nation-state apart, which is the monopoly on violence”.

I agree 100% How can there be legit private armies? Whats to stop them from doing anything and how are they accountable to anyone? Craziness if you ask me.
Great find. Obama’s phraseology makes it less clear, but he is admitting that the State has a monopoly of Force. Or to use his words, the monopoly on violence is what sets a nation-state apart.
Chaz, how can there be a legit use of the initiation violence against anyone?
If you are interested, Practical Anarchy helps to answer these questions yourself http://freedomainradio.com/free/#PA
Somebody better warn him that his Freudian slip is showing.
Wow, I wonder if Obama has been reading about libertarian philosophy, because his statement is almost identical to Rothbard’s definition of the state!
