Really love this topic, and you are dead on when saying, the state is often in direct disagreement with non-aggression principle. In general, peace does not make the state money, enough money. Then when you start to add in that democracies across the world rent really that democratic anymore, it's easy to see why the world is in a constant state of fear. Powerful oligarchs pull the strings and must keep the status quo if they are to stay perched atop the throne.
