Institutionalized violence and coercion is the antithesis of the contract under which civilized societies operate. The argument you make could just as easily be an argument for organized crime or any form of tyranny.

The basis of civilized society is voluntary, mutually beneficial (non-coercive). Holding a gun to someone's head and taking their shit is not civilized, and it's the psychopathic mind that argues otherwise.

And there are indeed "limitations which are placed upon us by our mutual desire to live together in an orderly society". That's why property rights matter.....to non-socialists.
