“communities formed voluntarily by people”

how did u voluntarily consent to your parents creating you?

we don’t get to just start our philosophical analysis of what it means to be a human being when u are 18.

i undoubtedly agree with every critique you have against the state we have today.

but to say we can abolish “the state” categorically is non-rational. it’s absurd.

the first principles of the state are the same principles of parents.

to think a human beings can exist without “the state” is the exact same as thinking children can exist without parents.

just unpack the entailments and verify

whatever principles or rules u want to govern society, if their scope doesn’t account for the origin or the beginning, then it’s not addresssing reality, it’s just a speculative fantasy. it’s gnostic

Regardless of my opinion on it, you make an interesting point w/ a decent analogy.

I'll reply in more detail tomorrow with my ☕.

the state = imposed non voluntary social relations

that’s its formal essence/definition the analogy conveys rhetorically.
