This is "authority is bad" tier. The state is literally just a monopoly on violence utilized by whatever class/ideology is in power. To not utilize it is to be inconsequential. You can complain about things all you want, but if you don't have a monopoly violence or a say in that monopoly of violence, it means literally nothing.
Unironically a good thing if you fail to meet proper educational standards and fail to properly socialize your children.
The state = freedom

I don't think I get you. What historical states would you have supported? What states do you support today?
Surely an anarchist is he who doubts the efficacy of any state in achieving progress?
Christian Walker
What are you defining as a state? Are you including the part where it is used for the enforcement of the will of a parasitic class on the class the drives history, or is every group that has set up rules and used violence to impose itself a state? Would the Zapatistas be a state, is the USSR?
Brandon Cooper
The state should have 1 role: design and distribution of weapons to the citizens to ensure mutually assured destruction on an individual and community scale.
With this, a state is not needed
Levi Howard
I should have used the term government / monopoly of violence / whatever.
If you just dislike parasitic governments you're hardly an anarchist. Everyone dislikes them.
Liam Moore
If you're just talking about governance then I am for advanced forms of direct democratic governance which still implies the monopoly and use of force, which is why I still go by the flag of anarchy.
If we're just asking about what governments I support, I support all states which are progressive towards the development of material history, which includes the current and historical Marxist ones of the last century
Tyler Baker
Don't most states progress material history in some or other way?
Mason King
Sure, but it's blatantly obvious that the US would currently rather bomb people by the millions rather than accept that the material base it has developed demands that it change its class superstructure and that the bourgs must die
Dominic Cruz
I suppose more importantly, the imperialist states move history more slowly than, and, directly align themselves against more forward thinking socialist aligned states.
