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.
I do not agree with your characterization of my initial statements so I can't argue with you, sorry.
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.
