Correction: Everyone has the right to use violence. But only in self defense. It's the initiation of violence that is immoral. Initiating violence = aggression.
It's the institution of private property that separates man from the animal kingdom. Under the law of the jungle the strong prey on the weak. Under a system of private property, no matter how strong you are you have no right to violate another individual's property rights.
Under a collectivist system, the "collective" ("the state", "the majority",...) preys on the individual. A collectivist system is not much different from the law of the jungle. Collectivists are simply better at coming up with excuses to "justify" their acts of aggression.
