Anarchists recognised long ago that the state is the source of most social injustice, but were naive to believe that one could simply do away with it.
Now the state tricks us into identifying with it by deceitfully posing as our nation. But social injustice, & worse, remain.

What I mean by "worse" is the fact that #TheMatrix of state (#BigBro) & capital is now driving us to commit #CivilisationalSuicide, & you can't get a lot worse than that, notwithstanding that it has happened time & time again in the past, as with ancient Greece & Rome.
In Britain, where I live, it is the British state, establishment & Parliament, which are driving us towards oblivion, & yet we are taught to look to them to save us. The Jews might just as well have looked to Hitler & his Nazi party to same them.
My analogy, which compares state & capital with #TheMatrix is a useful one, because we can't defeat the Matrix, but only re-program (i.e. radically reform) it. But to do that we first need to understand it, which is the job of the social sciences, which currently haven't a clue.
Why they haven't a clue, I can explain, but at the moment they are still clinging to their ignorance.
It's no good me screaming at them, although I often feel like it. I just have to be patient & hope that soon some of them, at least, will start paying attention to me.
