Those people also exist under a state. They don't magically stop liking violent coercion just because someone flips the statism switch.

Exactly...to simplify terms, let's call the innately violent people "bad" and the innately non-violent people "good."

Our problem is this: the good people have to find a way to violently coerce the bad people into being less violent. But how this is possible in AC unless more (most?) good societal agents now voluntarily choose to be violent?

It really seems logical to have a monolithic institution for handling all the good-condoned violence. Isn't life much more predictable this way?
