Do people really think the US state and its monopoly on violence is going to collapse in the foreseeable future?
The US has been run by oligarchs since its formation as a bourgeois state after its bourgeois revolution (previously). That this is more nakedly obvious this week than last doesn’t really change that fact.
Every nation in the world is a capitalist oligarchy if you haven't noticed. Every state is evil.
The only way to fix it, is to abolish statism worldwide.
I’ve noticed that they are not all capitalist oligarchies, actually, though most currently are.
We would also like to ultimately abolish the state, though you and I might not mean precisely the same thing by “state.”
