I see your point Witt, but ultimately the trade off we have with any State (in the Locke/Hobbsean conceptual space) is that we surrender to the State the use of Violence in use for the common good. Anyone can use violence of course and the State has the right to prosecute and punish those that use violence. If the State system itself is the instigator of violence against the general populace for reasons of control, etc. then it's violating the principle that it holds the sole license to use violence for the common good. It breaks the social contract.
Theoretically speaking.
