I mean, you've explicitly mentioned people's armies or radicalised armed forces, and as I said, I totally get that firearms are a necessary part of that, that's fine.

I take the points on cities, but I see no reason to think successful spread out rural services and infrastructure aren't achievable, they're already fairly successful in many parts of the world. I do also take your point that some people enjoy living in the cities despite the downsides, that's fine too. I think we can probably agree both rural and urban life have room for major improvement if they could be without the bourgeois nonsense dragging it down.
