    It doesn’t matter. The only reason the state has power is that capital grants it, the only reason capital has value is that the state protects it. The state and capital are interdependent and you can’t use one to fight the other.

        Yes, the state and capital do endless violence upon the poor and underprivileged and it will take some degree of violence to shift from taking that to defending ourselves from it.

      The state has power because it’s backed by people and military force, not because of capital. Unless you believe that guns are something exclusively available to capitalism?
