For me, the ultimate argument against anarchism is to define what a state is. A state is a weapon, an organized form of violence, that one class uses to oppress another. That’s from Lenin, but most anarchists should agree, right?

No, anarchists and Marxist-Leninists use different definitions of the state, which contributes to a lot of talking-past-each-other. The definitions used by anarchists vary a lot, but tend to focus on monopoly on the use of force, use of force for coercion, or on hierarchical organization. While most historical anarchists are anticapitalist, the class character of the state usually isn’t usually emphasized. Federated community militias could potentially be a state under the Marxist-Leninist definition without being a state under a given group of anarchists’ definition. But on the other hand, they could easily be a state under some other anarchist’s definition, which is why it pays to find out what kind of anarchist you’re talking to. Unfortunately, the “bedtime is authoritarian” type seem to have become overwhelmingly common over the last 10 years or so.

Isn’t this the exact rhetoric he uses with US cities before he sends troops?

Unitarians got a lot more militant since the last time I attended their service.

Well, it implies they don’t think they can trust the vast army of pigs in California to carry out their plans, right?

Eugenics Wars coming a little late, but maybe we’ll get back on the right timeline.

And (more) amphetamines.

Pretty sure it’s made out of the hollowed-out remains of a 2016 Bernie PAC? Not sure where I read that, though.

And they’ve already reversed the suspension, unsurprisingly. Stopping the flow of treats from Shein and Temu would be something people would actually care about.

I know the law allows the president to add more sites sithout further legislation; could they force the major app stores to remove XHS?

Mockup looks like a Decepticon Seeker’s Cybertronian alt form.

Ah, but he lost in the right way: campaigning nationally instead of the state he was running in, and thereby raising record amounts of campaign funds to pay into the pockets of DNC-associated consulting firms.

Greengrocer’s apostrophe.
