Today, we break down the state—its role, its violence, and why anarchists reject it. We examine Max Weber’s idea of the state as a monopoly on legitimate violence and connect it to Black anarchist critiques from Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin and William C. Anderson. How does the state uphold racial and economic hierarchies? Why does seizing state power recreate oppression? And how is the state tied to capitalism? Tune in for a deep dive into power, coercion, and resistance!
