I would strongly advise to not confuse the “state” with the “resulting de facto inferences of the richest and most powerful few” in a “coordinated effort of a collective society to protect us from those few” with the later, because those few also want to destroy it for their own benefit… a “state” made up of all the society is the only coordinated thing protecting us from those few human predators
I demand the lack of allegiance to a corrupt state, is a kidnapped entity that does not represent anymore the colectivity, it must be topped, but how would that correction be enforced if not by other collectively organised entities, even if ephemeral?
I believe a state can dynamically represent the common will of the society given the correct tools and vigilance.
Spontaneous will can easily fall apart by a few organised with a lot of resources, more easily than a centralised entity arisen form the colectivity of the many. Call that state or whatever, but collective coherence is fragile without some centered governance of the collective resources, which must be continuously watched by those generating it, because those few predators will continuously try to control it.
I fear that generalising that any state-like organisation must disappear will only make the things easier for those few with a lot of resources. I hope our differences here are only semantic, but those slogans seem to easily confound one thing with another…
