      It’s only “expected” to perform other services because its violence prevents us from doing those things apart from it.

          As already pointed out, it absolutely will stop you. Also, try doing any of those things on land claimed by private entities such as capitalists, and watch how quickly the state’s goons arrest and/or shoot you.
