Your analysis sends shivers down my spine for being so shallow. For example if there was no state in RF atm, they would have had no defence industry now to take care of the ramp-up necessary for the Ukr SMO.

The state is necessary to take care of it's citizens, be it its health, security or other collective needs. It's a necessary evil. What does an anarchist replace it with? Kumbaya?

Do recall that both Lenin and Stalin advocated withering of the state. They effed up 'cause it was not possible due to pressure from the west .. end of. A really easy intellectual conundrum which you just may counter with 'abstain' notion.

Boring.

A serious question, just shrugged off. In other words, there is no serous response except the kindergarten's variety of political analysis, being generous at that. Not that I expected more since I've been on the board almost as long as you. Disappointed?, don't be silly, just pointing out the fraudulent analysis, which is the hallmark of your take/s. In other words, don't partake in a debate if you are going to lose

hehe
