The state as an entity is the monopolization of "legitimate" force in the preservation of itself
if you got 100% of the workers in america to strike at once
what would happen
You protest for the destruction of it, it use a force for its defense
hypothetically
Then you lose
Eitherway there are other ways of abolishing the state without violent means
There is no realm in which you can peace your way abolishing the state
Except this one
They physically dont exist
At all
It does
@prior A general strike can do some damage until the tanks roll in.
lol
you right
No it literally doesn't exist and has never happened
but what if it was
Doesnt mean it wont ever
all the workers in america
at once
How?
like not saying that would ever happen
If it hasn't happened a single time in the entirety of human history
Its not gonna happen now.
And?
Why?
Because its antithetical to the purpose of the state
We only went to the moon a handful of times
People thought it impossible
The state in and of itself is an embodiment of violence
but humans amazed themselves
How it shows it existence
Is violence
Just because something is violent doesnt mean you have to fight fire with fire
It responds, via violence
because chances are you'd lose
It means you will eventually be drawn to violence
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
The only time transitions happen is when enough of the population is either onboard and indifferent, and the military doesn't find common cause with the state
