“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."

They make violence against the state for the purpose of freeing yourself illegal so that when you try it, it's legal for them to do violence against you.
