yeah he seems very reluctant to embrace state power
Maybe I should start sending him a pile of anthropology books explaining how states reproduce by forcing adjacent people to either form a state to fight the state or else become enslaved or destroyed.
Refusing to create and use a state sounds good on paper but in practice a state is the most efficient economic and military organizational technology yet devised and so far no one has managed to devise any non-state method of organization that can resist a state, let alone survive one, let alone defeat one.

Probably because Cory Doctorow isn't a Marxist.

Maybe not explicitly Marxist, but I've heard him use the phrase "socialism or barbarism" multiple times.
