Redistributing wealth isn't any more inherently aggressive than any other change. If people object violently to being asked to share the bounties of our industrial economy, that's no different from if they objected violently to being asked to put up with their sister marrying a woman, or to stop smoking in the restaurant.

Isn't it the people insisting on taking a share who are the ones employing violence? If the people being asked to share say no then armed men show up.

I mean, no armed men come take your taxes (anymore). The threat is ultimately there if you withhold otherwise but it's the same if you smoke in a mcdondalds then refuse to leave. Or if you squat on someone else's land.

If you're sent to prison if you continue to not pay taxes, then yes, the system is still using force.
