No individual or private group or private organization has the legal power to initiate the use of physical force against other individuals or groups and to compel them to act against their own voluntary choice. Only a government holds that power. The nature of governmental action is: coercive action. The nature of political power is: the power to force obedience under threat of physical injury-the threat of property expropriation, imprisonment, or death. ✨ Ayn Rand, Nathaniel Branden, Alan Greenspan, Robert Hessen (1986). Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, p.43, Penguin
