I really loath this obsession with the state. The state is the state of affairs. The state is the status quo. There is always a state. Even Communism is a state. A civilization with no leaders and no hierarchy is a state. It has a nature to it. It has fundamental laws by which it operates, even if they take the form of physical limitations as opposed to bourgeois legal codes. The entire world has brainworms.
Nation-states are fucking garbage, but you know what? We live in a world dominated by nation states. Where the USA ends, Mexico begins. Where Mexico ends, Guatemala begins. If there is a Communist revolution in Mexico, it won't do a damn thing about the confines of the global nation-state system. That revolution will have to navigate within that global system until the entire system as we know it is gotten rid of.
