>Many eastern bloc countries such as Yugoslavia had citizen militias designed to make invasion more difficult, it's one reason its break up was so bloody.
The break up was only possible because of the local militarisation, if the seperate yugoslav states didn't have the capabilty to fight then history would look quite different. A serbian controlled central military would succesfully guarantee the oppression of the other peoples of the yugoslav federation, since there would be nothing they could do about it.

>Whether the state is evil or not is irrelevant, it is the unit of political organization that we are faced with.
This is probably the main misstake of Marx, he just took the system in use, the state, for granted, and made his theories with the state as his basis - therefore leading to the practicall failure of his ideology in practice, since the state is inherently oppressive as a system. That is not irrelevant.

>The only way to destroy the state is to destroy its foundations: state enforced property rights, uneven international development, money, ect.
I mostly agree.

Maybe this guy is onto something. It is weird how libertairians so easily turn to both communism and fascism
