*All*? So, if I collect clay in some remote place, and make a dinner plate out of it to use in my kitchen, then that dinner plate, which is my property, has been gained and maintained through violence? And it’s okay to eat me if I refuse to let go of my dinner plate? I mean, I do agree with the sentiment of “eat the rich”, but for fuck’s sake, how is all property supposed to be violence? All property really does include even my toothbrush. Words do matter.

How do we feel about this comics’ insinuation that the only safety any of us deserve is that which we can secure through our own personal ability to secure through violence? By that logic, the pig should have shot the wolf the instant he saw him, and there would be no end to the violence until everyone was equally afraid of everyone else’s capacity for violence, or until they re-invented feudalism from first principles, and neither sounds like a great state of affairs to me.
