About me: I'm doing my best to be peaceful, non-violent, and humble as I seek epiphanies and try to help others find them too.

Spirituality, freedom, individual sovereignty, and voluntary cooperation will eventually replace them - maybe in my lifetime if you help.

That makes it sound very common, and I believe it is, but threats of right-violation can be hidden. For example a tax is a state demand for property, and if it weren't backed by the threat of violation of property (seizure) or movement (incarceration), then it wouldn't be a tax.
