Smashing the state has it's appeal, but there's a logical fallacy imbedded in it... If the workers were independent enough to be able to survive without the state, they wouldn't be in the union in the first place, so as soon as the state is smashed, they just make a new state. Here's how I think we should do it. It'll still involve collective bargaining, but there's no need for coercion. We all buy up adjacent land and incorporate as a city. But instead of doing normal city stuff, like roads and water, we have classes to teach how to do it for yourself. Then make public works illegal in our colony. And it is a colony, because we're gonna use our collective bargaining power to tell the tax man to pound sand. Think, a brand new free city in the Holy Ramen Empire. We're not fighting anyone, but we can fight if pushed, and we renegotiate our deal with the empire. Then we make another... And another... Until this model is most of everything and in space.
