    I’m sure that will go well for about 10 seconds before somebody uses force to seize power.

      The means of production include the means to defend your community.

      State power exists because of a monopoly on violence. Capitalism is a fine term to use since property rights are propped up by the violence of the state. The end game of capitalism is a monopoly on the means of production by an entitled few enshrined in property rights.

      Amarchy means an end to domination by hierarchical power such as that foundational to capitalism. Instead people will organize horizontally power in collective communities. Keep your gun, toothbrush and fight for your community when domination is imposed. Better to live 10 seconds on your feet under anarchy than to live a lifetime in bondage under capitalism.

        Making violence free and open for all has certainly always been beneficial in the past. /s

        States are a largescale collection of people. The exclusivity of and participation in the state varies from one to the next, but they exist as a means for people to protect their very large community.
