Well put, I see much of my own thoughts in this. Especially regarding false dichotomies and practicality. Thank you for the thought-out reply.

Indeed. The original question wasn't as coherent as this one so I edited it to maybe get ananswer, but as of yet there are no answers to my question. We'll see what happens. Thank you for the reply though

 

I thought the whole idea is that the state is also "owned" by those working in it, just as everything else. Isn't waiting for the perfect Utopia to sprout out of thin air and instead focusing on infighting kinda useless and beside the point? I'm confused whether it's me who doesn't understand or "them". So I wan't to ask a guestion here as I did there: how is any of this supposed to work if no state (no ruling authority) can exist? Say maintaining infrastructure in areas where no natural resources, industry for refining or skilled labor for extracting, refining and maintaining naturally exist? I don't believe that any human society can function without some level of authority (thinking legality in disputes and such) and in order to provide everything needed for infrastructure maintenance some authority must tell others where to go with everything.

This might actually be my personal blindness, as I've lived all my life in a country whose entire raison d’être is being anti-Russia and all my life I've been taught nothing else; like "evil imperial Russia took us from the loving embrace of our former slave masters, and subjugated us for a 100+ years, until we broke the chains of their imperialism to adhere to another kind of imperialism. Also communism is bad, remember 1939-45?" type of shit. So I'm kinda hesitant to trust Russia in order to fight America. Or at least I would be sure to be ready to fight Russians off as well later.

True, but the only way for this to happen is for Europe to work together economically against the US, and to my mind China is the only viable option to replace the US as a economic partner. Of course this is a scary proposition for most Europeans, as the US works more or less openly with the threat of Russian invasion while simultaneously working to empower the local far-right policians in Europe, which will result in either them succeeding and Europe gleefully goose-stepping its way into an open war for the Nazis again, or them not-succeeding and possibly causing Europe to rip itself apart in political strife, which in turn could open the way for Russian subjugation. So basic fascist tactics, forcing a problem to appear and presenting itself as the only solution. In both these cases capitalist imperialism seems to be the victor.

Just felt like popping in to say: same. Except for me the start of my questioning predates lurking here, but just barely. "Oddly enough", it seems most of the lgbtq+ folks here are likeminded. Also lots of neurodivergents, hah.
