Ayn Rand, Difference between political and other types of power

From Capitalism the Unknown Ideal.

“The difference between political power and any other kind of social power, between government and any private organization, is the fact that a government holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force. This distinction is so important and so seldom recognized today that I must urge you to keep it in mind.”
