> The lesson of this article: Government has only one means to carry out its policies: force (more precisely, threat of force).

This is simply factually false. Government has all the means available to any other institution or person available.

You seem to have reversed the common definition of government as whatever entity or aggregate of entities exercise a monopoly on legitimate use of force into the idea that the government somehow magically loses access to every other tool that people and groups of people have.
