Twice

shouldnt the state wither away after🤔

That's literally you

The state is needed to protect the people

You're yeltsin / Gorbachev

so keep killing everyone until everyone is a commie?

Oof no

Civilians have done no bad

eventually you want the state gone lol

That's an assumption

<:gascats:548621502103289858>

Eventually maybe

😒

But way after capitalism died

the main concern is then freedom

Can't eliminate the state when there are imperialist nations lurking in the shadows

if you kill capitalism

Capitalism grants no freedom

Ah yes

Lmao

Freedom

it doesnt

neither does the state

Freedom of thought and act as long as it doesn't hurt the people is completely fine under a socialist regime

Yeah right up until the nearby warlord enslaves you

That's why you don't give weapons to people

And that's when Mao says that political power comes from the barrel of a gun

And suddenly in China there are no more warlords

Magic

assuming there is no warlords

I know

im assuming

but lets assume

Warlords can rise anytime

No state means someone else will try to seize control

Aka

Warlord who turns your daughter into his sex slave

Brb

It's OK could be worse

>state will protect u against rape
