Anarchists have fought the State since its inception, but along the paths of liberation in the twenty-first century it's been missing from the conversation. Laursen's engaging exploration revisits ideas of the State, its apparatus of controls, and why we should openly oppose it." - scott crow, author of Black Flags and Windmills
One of the most unique aspects of anarchism as a political philosophy is that it seeks to abolish the state. But what exactly is "the state"? The State is like a vast operating system for ordering and controlling relations among human society, the economy, and the natural world, analogous to a digital operating system like Windows or MacOS. Like a state, an operating system "governs" the programs and applications under it and networked with it, as well as, to some extent, the individuals who avail themselves of these tools and resources. No matter how different states seem on the surface they share core similarities, namely: The State is a relatively new thing in world history The State is European in origin and outlook States are "individuals" in the eyes of the law The State claims the right to determine who is a person The State is an instrument of violence and war The State is above the law The State is first and foremost an economic endeavor.
