What kind?
There's only one kind of violence: The kind where a party uses power to deprive another party of a current or potential freedom. We tend to conflate violence with physical force, and much of it is that, but it isn't limited to that nor are the means of the nation state.
(To be clear the user above conflated capitalism with fiat currency, this answer works for both)
Can you give specifics for how that applies in this context?
Not sure. What do you mean by that?
How the comment you replied to maps onto your singular definition for violence. Who are the parties, what are the freedoms, etc?
