Subject: coercion


Now Tony,
Isn't it idealist or utopian or something to imagine a world in which 
nobody will ever even try to do something that others would want to put 
a stop to?  

Under communism, will no one ever physically assault another, rape or 
molest a child, steal or destroy personal property, or extort something 
>from someone else?  

And if some people began to appropriate the products of others in the 
original developments of classes, might not some people try to do the 
same again?  If classes are truly dissolved, what will stop them coming 
back?

Coercion, I say, cops and courts and such.  Otherwise, what you gonna 
do, just talk to the bully nicely and say "Can't we all get along?"
