    A functional stateless society would be a generational undertaking not an overnight revolution, anarchists who believe otherwise are in the above picture.

      I mean that sounds just like, Marxism-Leninism withering of the state kinda line really so that’s what I get confused on unless you’re saying that MLs are fundamentally anarchists in that they strive for a stateless society (eventually)

        Typically, the idea of Marxists is to use the state apparatus to dismantle the state apparatus in the end.

        Typically, the idea of anarchists is to build parallel structures outside of the state apparatus until the state apparatus is no longer able to resist the alternate power base deciding to dissolve the state.
