An anarchist would take off the capitalist mask to reveal hierarchy

Wouldn't the state also be in the frame before the capitalist at the end?

I'm an ML but no, states are more fundamental than capitalism. There were states prior to capitalism and they will likely exist after capitalism, but capitalism cannot exist without a state as the special apparatus of class oppression.

As an ML though you could argue that states are downstream of the economic circumstances that force their development

[–] GarbageShootAlt2@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, you're probably right

Capitalism is a hierarchy so true as well
