The following was in drafts with the exact wording as follows.
"Graph as ordinal data violence imposed by the state vs violence imposed by other sources and danger, suffering and reduced pleasure imposed by lack of state services and bribes"
The following is new content that I am adding in 2024
I think I was going to do a graph of how much different worldviews believe a level of violence from the State would be versus how much violence from non state sources they believe would happen with that level of State violence
The monarchists might believe that once State violence goes below a certain minimum amount that violence from non state sources would increase thus to optimize the minimum amount of total violence from both state and non state sources a particular non zero level of State violence is needed. The minarchists might believe state violence must be set just right, setting it above or below a certain number would increase the violence from state sources plus non state sources
Some Anarcho capitalists might believe that decreasing State violence to zero will not increase violence from non state sources compared to a higher level of violence. They would not believe that lowering state violence below a certain amount would guarentee an increase from non state sources of violence. Thus some anarcho capitalists might believe that in order to minimize the sources of violence from state sources plus non state sources the total amount of violence from state sources should be set to 0
Other people might not care about the level of violence and simply want to maximize the amount of pleasure , comfort and or happiness they have right now and or minimize the amount of pain, suffering and or inconvenience they have right now. They might be willing to increase the total amount of state and non state violence they receive in order to get better service from government and non government sources
