How do you think the state will wither away
(lemmygrad.ml)
This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
If you look at the state as a unit of coercion that uses violent and nonviolent means to enforce and perpetuate class disparities, you can concieve of the state as something that can be separated from governance. It is possible that the state withering away means the withering away of brutal police forces and military, intelligence agencies, war industry and so on while governance still continues to exist in a more democratic fashion.
It's hard to say what things will look like that far into the future but I think structures like national central governments will continue to exist. They could cede significantly authority to provincial governments.
