If you bothered to read my above response...

...you would see that you just evidently made the same error that LOD made, which was assuming that the iteration of socialism I adhere to is supportive of the state. It isn't. I thought you would know better than this, as I have explained to you many times before that I support the establishment of a classless, moneyless, and stateless society. I simply said that as long as a class-divided system continues to exist, the state is likely to be around, so we have to find ways of making it work for us rather than against us for as long as it remains extant. A capitalist system without a state would not be viable for long, and horribly destructive to the workers for as long as it lasted. And you know I do not support capitalism, but realize I have to work within it for as long as it continues to exist, which will likely be the duration of both our lifetimes.
