I won’t debate you or anything I’m just really curious what some of the main reasons why someone would want the state to beat capitalism rather than defeat capitalism according to anarchist theory. I appreciate anyone who takes the time to answer my question. Hopefully an interesting discussion can be had. EDIT: I appreciate everyone’s response. Not exactly a big fan of most of the sentiment but I appreciate those who took the time to help me understand.
