Good, and step one is to dissolve the state, right? So what if is your problem with my post? It’s objectively impossible to espouse anarchism/leftism without working toward the collapse of fascist nations like the US.

In all seriousness, what do you think would happen if the state collapsed tomorrow?

We as the left are so disorganized, there would be nothing stopping fascists filling the power vacuum. I’m an anarchist myself, but for the revolution not to fall against the counterrevolution, we need to be ready to make sure that that power vacuum stays empty. That requires strong unions, self defense forces, mutual aid networks and much more. None of which we currently have. We absolutely work towards the collapse of the state. But on our terms, and with something better ready to replace it with. The revolution won’t happen on it’s own, it’s a long and arduous process.

I’d hope then that you along with me would find solidarity while recognizing that the collapse of the US is beneficial for the greater good.

I ask again, what do you think will happen when then US state collapses?

The way you’re taking about collapse reminds me of Christians taking about the rapture, this magical event that will take us to utopia.
