Take your showel and crowbar and join the strike, because that’s what scares the powerful the most, that we might not work for them. Shooting? That’s a simple problem to solve for them, just send in cops or the army.
If we’re talking in absolutes, state can be overthrown without guns : it’s a social construct, it can be unmade by social means.
Now, it’s far far easier with violence, and violence is easier with guns, so practically and realistically you’re probably right. But eh, i like nitpicking.
it also entirely depends on which state we’re talking about.
The norwegian state can absolutely be overthrown if the “overthrow the state” party gets 90% of the votes with 100% voter turnout, whereas the american government might well just nuke seattle if they see any third party getting more than 3% of votes…
But the state is the monopolist on violence…
Otherwise you have a social group that has no means to enforce it’s will on others…
Thus it could be ignored entirely as a “construct.”
Since both Australian and USians practically and realistically praxis violence on it’s population, there is only one course of action to counter a gun violent state…
Found the American 😁

You cannot overthrow the state without weapons and at least a genuine threat to use them.

P sure they were quoting Marx lmao
Lol, someone has never read Marx. Bro has never read a lick of theory if they cannot recognize one of the most iconic quotes of leftists philosophy.
Like, I’m not even a Marxist yet I recognize a quote by Marx when I see one.
TIL Karl Marx was an American.
