@Laughingblades (continued) To say the same more simply, the state strives to secure the individual's vertical orientation towards state power by interfering with his horizontal relationships with other natural individuals. Interfering with horizontal community is the surest way to breed alienation. I live in a Scandinavian welfare society in which individuals are formally connected through society's institutions but at the same time have no sense of organic community whatsoever.
@Laughingblades Human beings are not innately violent in the sense that they would always be itching to get at each other. This wouldn't make any sense in terms of what we know about human survival in the natural world. Why would a natural individual try continually to self-destruct through violence against his community, the organism that guarantees his survival? The nation state always interferes with this mechanism of self-preservation because it suppresses organic community.
Violence isn't unlearnable because it's inherent in the species, we're upright apes, at best we can minimize it, but we can't eliminate it.
And there's a problem with the stateless society concept, in that in order to preserve the society, people will have to decide on what to do with their rapists and murderers and other such delinquents. And in dealing with such people, that society must take actions which strongly parallel the state.
The state emerges as mankind tries to solve problems.
this video should be linked with the story of your enslavement.

@Laughingblades Make up your mind.
First you say "that stuff" can be included in capitalism. Then you say capitalism is "that stuff"
That makes no more sense than:
Jelly can be put in a doughnut, but it is not a doughnut. A doughnut is jelly.
