What is the government?
Is taxation extortion and armed robbery?
Is capital punishment murder?
Is war mass-murder?
Is the law a system of slavery?
Is an arrest a kidnapping?
Is jurisdiction turf?
Are soldiers hired killers?
Are police gangsters?
If none of the above apply, then what separates the boldfaced from the italicized?
The answer many will have is authority. Only one thing can give authority, and that is consent... and any compliance given to avoid being the victim of violent behavior is not consent.
Just something to think about.
