Isn't violence disobedience to an entity that claims a monopoly on violence?
That's the reason the state claims it, after all, and indoctrinates us to that effect. They'd rather not get dead-ed. Not just their power, but their existence too, amounting to nothing. I want to say that sure, oppressors can handle violence, and anything else too - but violence stresses their control. It interrupts the delivery of goods and services to state sympathizers, it provides the state with an oppurtunity to alienate itself from support.
-and they do, like clockwork.
To an oppressor, every single member of your society is a potential traitor. A potential assassin - and they're right. My fun way to put my opinion on this is that shitty people should never be allowed to believe that they're the most dangerous ones in the room.
