we do know what oppression is, and we can fight it.

You're against concentration of power. Can you name a single revolution that succeeded without some concentrated power, democratically concentrated or otherwise?

It seems like you want to fight and lose.

you're going to need to define revolution and success and concentration, and at this point, we might as well just lay our cards on the table. you believe it's only practical to have a transitional state. i have a suspicion about anything that even smells like a state. we will not reconcile this in !memes today.

i don't think i'm misrepresenting your position. i feel i understand it, and i disagree about the practicality of setting up a system of oppression to end oppression.
