    But they don’t start by saying “first we put everything within the state"

    No, but the ultimate argument is similar […] You can argue about methods but a lot of anarchist theory has approximately the same vague “and when we successfully build enough communism the state will wither away” so mocking that last part is silly.

    emphasis added for clarity

      I don’t think there are many anarchists calling for the establishment of state socialism and then just hoping it goes away after. Means, and intermediate systems matter, path dependency is a thing.
