“Let’s understand through a simple example. Let’s say you go into a restaurant and hate the wallpaper. You can complain and try to persuade the owner to change it. If he doesn’t change it, you can decide not to go back. But if you break in, take money out of the cash register, buy paint, and cover the wallpaper yourself, you will be charged with criminal wrongdoing and perhaps go to jail. Everyone in society agrees that you did the wrong thing. But the state is different. If it doesn’t like the wallpaper, it can pass a law (or maybe not even that) and send a memo. It can mandate a change. It doesn’t have to do the repainting: the state can make you repaint the place. If you refuse, you are guilty of criminal wrongdoing.”—
