If people really want to live a life free from violence, free to live as one chooses, then focus on taking the counterfeiters out of power. Counterfeiters must initiate force to keep their monopoly. That is the source of the violent world. Real money is taken from the Earth by mining it, growing it, or sewing it. It takes effort to mine resources. That effort creates jobs and prosperity. The same principle applies for the growing and sewing industries. Effort is expended and wealth is attained by productive individuals. Productive individuals earn an honest living in a peaceful voluntary manner. Counterfeiters, however, must be violent to survive.

Counterfeiting requires very little effort and no productive work at all. As a matter of fact, counterfeiters must seek out competitors and destroy them by throwing them in jail or killing them. Otherwise they risk having their own currency debased without their control which makes their counterfeit money worthless. In other words, if everyone was allowed to print as much money as they wanted, then nobody's money would be worth anything. Counterfeiters are the source of violence. They have no other choice, so they use their counterfeit money to buy military and police to enforce their counterfeit money on society. That is from where the police state comes.
