People’s lives, in Mamdani’s world, can be improved only by government: “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve, and no concern too small for it to care about.” The crowd cheered, of course, but a thinking person might wonder whether it’s good for the institution that has a monopoly on violence to insist that nothing is beyond its purview.

Since when has the liberal media cared about the states monopoly on violence? Did the editorial board become an anarchist collective after Mamdani won?

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.
