Slop.

The monopoly on violence also exists regardless of what the mayor says. There's not a magic "size of the state" where slashing social programs somehow changes that dynamic.

A thinking person might recognize that, in its monopoly on violence, the state automatically retains a universal purview, as violence is always the negotiation technique of last resort.

Forever wars? Supporting the most sheerly genocidal campaign in 80 years? Spying on all citizens with gigabytes of data apiece? Mass incarceration? Secret police kidnapping people off the streets to send them to black sites in foreign countries? I sleep.

Somebody in NYC wants regular people to have affordable rent, transportation, and childcare? THIS SHIT IS TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENTAL OVERREACH.

Hey now, anarchists are always happy to see capital wetting itself.

It is probably the most liberal thing you could do to never acknowledge the state monopoly on violence until someone to your left is wielding it.

Ah, looks like the “based tradcath proud nazi groypers” are suddenly pretending to be principled anarchists I see.

White Men seem to trust the government to make their lives better, so miss me with this “but it’s the principle government bad”. The private sector had its chance and they blew it.
