Do you really think that politics only exists where there is a state? I'd have thought the opposite is true. Most states actively prevent most people participating in politics.
The more authoritarian the state, the more in compells people to participate in politics, making eveything they do or think political, for example the endless meetings in Cuba and Mao's china,
Where there is no state everyone is a politician, all the time, and all public acts are overtly political.
So when I buy coffee, that is political? Surely the non state area of our lives is the non political area of our lives. --digsig James A. Donald 6YeGpsZR+nOTh/cGwvITnSR3TdzclVpR0+pr3YYQdkG OHqLH7EFCEVGI5CkHzpWzDH3Iyd7w5T1TSE3dyUB 4HvAcBSrD8JQfPtYDs3hHfuCbQWprTcJhov+r6b1+
