    im sorry to hear that after all of this u continue to claim the state is an extension of its people, and continue to mix representation and delegation. or for that matter, the myth of the state abolishing itself, which has no basis in reality.

    ill give up on explaining this to u now. just one small thing: its spelled Bismarck, not Bismark.

    ok this gotta be my last response bc i got better shit to do today.

    so first off, i simply dont care what the marxist definition or critique of something is, so yes, please understand it as just the general anarchist critique.

    Unless your point is that the delegate can only do what 100% of those who elected them want,

    well yes, if they want to stay a delegate they have to comply with the mandate they were given. i also understand that there may be practical considerations that lead ppl to choose weak (e.g. 95%) consensus decisions, and u can call that hierarchical if u like, but that doesnt mean we shouldnt strive to abolish all hierarchies.

    the way u have described the PRC does not sound like they have delegates, rather representatives. ive already explained the difference.

    as for considering the PRC state capitalist, this is my conception (altho i know a few marxists who agree), and so far ive only argued about the ownership situation and not touched upon wealth accumulation or markets at all, but i think ive still made a fair argument.
