      no, its part of the state.

      see, the state IS NOT the government. those words are not equivalent. the government is part of the state. so are many many private industries and companies under capitalism. this is basic theory

        the government is part of the state.

        And the citizens too, in your definition. But we are not talking about that dictionary definition, we are talking about the legal definition.

        Then I obviously need some suggestions on theory to read, because I didn't know that.

      the State is a special organisation of force: it is an organisation of violence for the suppression of some Social class.
