It has potential

2018-03-21 02:00:36 UTC  

The state as an entity is the monopolization of "legitimate" force in the preservation of itself

2018-03-21 02:00:41 UTC  

if you got 100% of the workers in america to strike at once

2018-03-21 02:00:44 UTC  

what would happen

2018-03-21 02:00:47 UTC  

You protest for the destruction of it, it use a force for its defense

2018-03-21 02:00:48 UTC  

hypothetically

2018-03-21 02:00:52 UTC  

Then you lose

2018-03-21 02:00:58 UTC  

Eitherway there are other ways of abolishing the state without violent means

2018-03-21 02:01:07 UTC  

There is no realm in which you can peace your way abolishing the state

2018-03-21 02:01:15 UTC  

Except this one

2018-03-21 02:01:17 UTC  

They physically dont exist

2018-03-21 02:01:21 UTC  

At all

2018-03-21 02:01:22 UTC  

It does

2018-03-21 02:01:23 UTC  

@prior A general strike can do some damage until the tanks roll in.

2018-03-21 02:01:27 UTC  

lol

2018-03-21 02:01:30 UTC  

you right

2018-03-21 02:01:31 UTC  

No it literally doesn't exist and has never happened

2018-03-21 02:01:35 UTC  

but what if it was

2018-03-21 02:01:40 UTC  

Doesnt mean it wont ever

2018-03-21 02:01:42 UTC  

all the workers in america

2018-03-21 02:01:43 UTC  

at once

2018-03-21 02:01:45 UTC  

Yes it does

2018-03-21 02:01:49 UTC  

How?

2018-03-21 02:01:50 UTC  

like not saying that would ever happen

2018-03-21 02:01:59 UTC  

If it hasn't happened a single time in the entirety of human history

2018-03-21 02:02:04 UTC  

Its not gonna happen now.

2018-03-21 02:02:04 UTC  

And?

2018-03-21 02:02:07 UTC  

Why?

2018-03-21 02:02:15 UTC  

Because its antithetical to the purpose of the state

2018-03-21 02:02:15 UTC  

We only went to the moon a handful of times

2018-03-21 02:02:20 UTC  

People thought it impossible

2018-03-21 02:02:27 UTC  

The state in and of itself is an embodiment of violence

2018-03-21 02:02:28 UTC  

but humans amazed themselves

2018-03-21 02:02:47 UTC  

How it shows it existence

2018-03-21 02:02:50 UTC  

Is violence

2018-03-21 02:02:55 UTC  

Just because something is violent doesnt mean you have to fight fire with fire

2018-03-21 02:02:57 UTC  

It responds, via violence

2018-03-21 02:03:07 UTC  

because chances are you'd lose

2018-03-21 02:03:10 UTC  

It means you will eventually be drawn to violence

2018-03-21 02:03:13 UTC  

Just look at happened with the general strikes in France. 11 million workers. They ended up getting shut down by the military.

Not if you know an alternate solution
