"the state is evil and will crush us all, here are the exact tools to destroy it!" - someone on a big podcast, using their real name and likeness i'm saying the above picture presents a paradox. i'm not proposing any plots or bigger picture, just noticing that there is an incongruity there

Ah this is something you heared? I assume eather it is real and the state is in decline towards inexistance. Or it is a simple bluff. But I do not understand what it would even mean to destroy the state. What would be the thing one wants to exchange it for. I think this question has to be answered by many in more or less the same words (consensus) in order to bring a state out of order. For me a state is a collective of institutions from schools, constitution, laws, police, courts, parlaments and executives. But it is still a state even, when some institutions vanish or new instritutions come into place. So I assume all these services would have to be substituted by something. What would it be and how would this not be a state? Why would it be preferable?
