    If your goal is the elimination of the state, surely you’d put more weight behind states controlled by Leftists against states controlled by Capitalists in the process, right? As a sort of temporary ally thing, presuming your goal is full decentralization and not the Marxist conception of full centralization and democratization as Communism.

      I do not have state level goals. I am not a state level actor. I am a captive pawn in the colonies, and in my region the only legitimate state is the Senecas, at least to my knowledge. They are good folks but idk if they are “leftists” or whatever. They are just people who live there and have been under attack for hundreds of years. You are describing a philosophical fantasy.

        You were just celebrating the dissolution of the USSR, an event that only led to the entrenchment of the Russian Federation and other Capitalist states. This isn’t a move towards statelessness, but a move towards right-wing states. This isn’t philosophical fantasy to suggest that maybe it’s a bad thing when left wing states dissolve into right wing ones.

            It seems to me that your comment was happy that the USSR dissolved because you want all states to dissolve, if you want to correct my understanding of your comment then please do.

              Sure. My comment was intended to playfully criticize fantasizing about non-existent states, such as a Soviet Union existing fifty-ish years after its destruction. While I don’t think states should exist generally, I find it humorous that people imagine and then defend non-existent states, and I would be really happy if every state was simply a thought exercise. The meme would be equally funny to me if someone were lamenting the loss of Prussia or San Marino.

                It’s more as a direct comparison to the loss of that massive Leftist state, and the replacement with the Russian Federation. The dissolution of one of history’s largest Socialist projects is tragic.
