We know that $T_c$ is the temperature above which no amount of pressure could force a gas to liquefy.

But why is this? Somehow I don't buy the point that the gas molecules exert too much pressure back to get close and turn into a liquid. If we had tens of thousands of atmosphere pressure(such as on the inside of hot planets), we should be able to liquefy any gas at any temperature.
