States basically prohibit the use of force by their citizens and residents, and place the right to use force with institutions such as the police and armed forces, to maintain order. The state is an organization that manages to retain the exclusive right to use, threaten or authorize the use of physical force on residents of its territory. The ability to maintain this monopoly is an important measure of a state's legitimacy and stability (Max Weber). This is not new, this is the way for centuries and in the past that violence was far worse than nowadays I rather have the democratic monopoly on violence than a Russian monopoly on violence posting here would in Russia give you about 20 year of state violence. You are old enough to know why for one reason the RAF was grounded we do not see that violence today your countries has had large demonstrations for the last years without that kinda violence so democracy works in your country in Russia only participation saying nothing showing a blank piece of paper would mean imprisonment and forced mobilisation.
