We've had states longer than we've had history. The father of history, Herodotus, gave us the history of the states of Greece and Persia. "State" doesn't mean "a US state"
A modern state is not at all the same form of government as in the fucking ancient Greece, are you aware of that.
Yes, I am aware. I never said they're the same, I said it was a state, which contradicts your assertion that states are a recent thing. If you want to keep talking about this I would suggest you stop lashing out first. I don't deserve the vitriol, and you deserve the opportunity to string your thoughts together without them being clouded by an unnecessary rage
I'm sorry, I reserve my right to be vitriolic when someone spouts some actual dumbass shit and pretends like it's profound.
"We use the word state for a few completely different systems of government, therefore everything is a state. Checkmate commulists."
Like, do you even read the shit you say?
The "Stateless" part of the statement means that isn't a modern nation state. It refers to a government system without centralised control, systems of delegstions instead of parliaments, etc.
