>> In any case, it's a big stretch to call eviction "state violence"

No, it's not, that's exactly what it is. A guy with a gun and a badge coming to your residence to enforce a contract is "state violence".

To me that's a legitimate use of state violence, but let's call it what it is. No, not everyone gets to enforce their contracts with violence, that's called "The state monopoly on violence".

A guy with a gun and a badge coming to your residence

"your" is questionable in that scenario.

the place where you live is your residence, no matter what a piece of paper says. Even if it's a tent on the sidewalk.
