It's not illegal, but it's still weird, creepy and potentially harmful and no amount of lambasting about "the problematic age gap discourse" will make it not true.

Government bad.
counterpoint: :USSR: :GDR:
they were better than bourgeois govts. (:ussr-cry:) but states are fundamentally bad and under socialism are only a temporary necessary evil.
But you didn't say "state bad", you said "government bad". Even in a classless, moneyless, stateless society there will still be a buerocracy that manages the Commons, and that institution will be called a government.
yeah but the convo shifted from govt to ussr and gdr, no? they were states. unless i misunderstood?
AFAIK the ML understanding of the State is that it's not the same thing as the government, although the government is a major feature of the State in most of the world. I would elaborate but sadly I'm a lib and haven't actually read State and Revolution.
Either way, I think we should read anarchists if we want to understand the state, not just MLs.
man this struggle session is great, it has all the classics
