#thestate — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

In the twentieth century, #governments learned to manage societies through #institutions. Laws were written, regulations enforced, and policies implemented in response to events as they unfolded. #Thestate observed, decided, and acted—often with delay, sometimes with force, always within the limits of available information.

That model is now beginning to change.

Across parts of #China, a new form of governance is emerging, one that does not wait for events to unfold but seeks to anticipate and shape them."

"The popular turn to “#digitalsovereignty” identifies the right problem but mislocates the solution, treating #thestate as something that can simply be recaptured… Reclaiming #publicauthority thus depends on strengthening the democratic parts of the economy itself — rebuilding institutions capable of pooling capital, coordinating at scale, and exerting leverage. #Cooperatives, if politicized and #federated, remain one of the few tools available for doing that work."

"The Pipeline Made Visible

Unlike old #authoritarianism built on fear and force, this new system rules through code, capital, and infrastructure — making resistance feel architecturally impossible.
It’s a self-reinforcing loop: #Ideology fuels venture capital → #capital captures the state → #thestate feeds the same private systems that built it. A new model of power — #privatizedsovereignty."

A friend of mine just sent a pic from after FFS. I replied:

"I thought I'd question my gender a little. No big deal, right? Well, now I have tape all over my face!!"

I am referring to a skit from the MTV show "The State". I cannot find this anywhere on the internet, so nobody knows what I'm talking about. Can anyone point to a way to watch this skit or the whole show?

All I could find is one screenshot.

CW: Pol, capitalism, the state, anarchism

Dear moderates who are skeptic of capitalism and looking for some potential ideas on why things are the way they are and why
anarchists are saying the things they say about the state. These are my understandings and thoughts on the topic. If you want better and more thorough explanations and explorations of the subject, @RD4Anarchy and @HeavenlyPossum are excellent starting points.

I'll share Heavenly Possum *and RD4Anarchy* lists of resources here:

One important thing my anarchist mentors taught me about smashing The State (TM), is that we mean something very specific by it; what political scientists call the 'monopoly on violence'.

The normalisation of "violence down the hierarchy", as Derrick Jensen put it in Endgame, while pathologising even the most trivial use of force against the hierarchy. Police brutality isn't even news. While throwing a cream pie at a PR hack or CEO is "assault".

"Ultimately, it is the sort of book which should be mandatory reading for all #CivilServants and Politicians of every colour. We have to reconfigure the interface between the citizen and the state in order for them to have a more copacetic relationship. We have to redesign #thestate so that it is able to meet the challenges of today. We have to ensure that it is able to rapidly adapt to the challenges of tomorrow."

"The #extremeright does not hate #thestate, but just enough to gain access to it and occupy it. Once in power it does not destroy it, it tries to reconfigure it. #Milei, #Trump or #Bolsonaro aim to destroy public regulations that deal with social reproduction and favour private regulation of #capitalAccumulation. State action is not dissolved but reoriented to constitute a new, ultra-punitive power of command capable of assisting the order required by the #markets."

Important & timely reminder.

"Here and now, the state is oriented towards maintaining the conditions needed for the accumulation of capital.
"That has been the British state’s role since the 17th century, despite the preservation of several feudal forms. It has taken on and discarded specific functions, including under the pressure of class struggle, but all within that overarching framework."
