Remeber, kids: Laws are threats made by the dominate socio-economic ethnic group in a given nation. It's just the promise of violence and police are basically an occupying army.
Had to go find a clip of this because the delivery makes it even better, like a militant socialist afterschool special:

The delivery sells it entirely. He's like the guy coming in to talk about drugs with a baseball cap and sitting backwards in the chair, but it's about cops and molotovs instead.
Thank you for sharing, didn't know about this
I mean, we use different terms (“social contract”, “law and order”, “state monopoly on violence”), but that’s what it boils down to.
Yeah, my character is realizing that the nobles that want to depose the king in favor of a ruling council are themselves just as corrupt if not more, and that the only real answer is a worker's revolution. So this might end up being a bit of an influence in this weekend's events.
