  • The State itself kills way more than any negative effects of burning down one of their institutions.

    Those services are provided to people through the distribution of resources to communities that need them. The state only exists to control how this happens, and predominantly works to frustrate these efforts in order to facilitate profit growth for the capitalist market.

    As an Anarchist, yes, I fully believe a stateless society would be leagues better than one that suffers under an unjust hierarchy that only exists to serve the interests of capital.

    Nice red herring though with the last point. Never said other States would just sit idly by. Which is why forms of defense will still need to be organized and there are many different ways to organize community defense that don't rely on a state hierarchy.

    Burning a State building only burns down a building, nothing more.

  • What a myopic take...

    State Buildings are not people, why should we have empathy for inanimate objects? Militant organizations exist to defend people from systemic oppression (at least leftist ones do, cannot say the same for the right wing types) specifically because they empathize with the plight of those being oppressed.

  • Nothing I wasn't already losing through the systemic oppression that is the capitalist system and a hierarchical State that exists to maintains it.

    What? I'm gonna be poor and marginalized under a different system? Okay. Changes nothing for me. I'm still poor and struggling to maintain housing and eat a proper meal every day.

    The only people losing anything are the middle class who still think that the system isn't already exploiting them and fail to understand that what is happening is the inevitable conclusion to the society we built.

  • No, just capitalism is correct. Unbridled or not, the profit incentive and private ownership over the means of production, both of which are intrinsic to a capitalist economic structure, still exist and contribute to systemic oppression.
