Government Organizing Injustice

I'm just now reading Bastiat's "The Law" for the first time. Of course Bastiat puts ideas so well. Just meditate for a while on the following:
Try to imagine a form of labor imposed by force, that is not a violation of liberty; a transmission of wealth imposed by force, that is not a violation of property. If you cannot succeed in reconciling this, you are bound to conclude that the law cannot organize labor and industry without organizing injustice.
