It is a very unique state, but it is still a state as such, for a state is a mechanism of class rule.

This is tautological, a state is a mechanism of class rule and since it’s a mechanism of class rule, it’s a state.

Edit: My point here is that there’s more to the state than merely a mechanism of class rule, because plenty of mechanisms of class rule exist. The state is merely one obvious example.

The state is defined as the monopoly on violence. We agree, it seems.
