Again, your definition is too broad to be meaningful. If tolerating poverty is “violence” and genocide is “violence” the term no longer serves a purpose.

Further, just because governments use physical force to protect a thing does not make that thing violent. The federal government sent in the army to protect the Little Rock Nine in Arkansas. Does this mean racial integration is “violent”? Or is it only “violent” when the government tolerates inequality?
