You really think burning down the state buildings will have zero negative effects? That the state doesn't provide necessary life saving services to the people using money it extracted from industry? You really think the stateless land will be left to sit by opposing world powers who see an easy claim?

Then you're an idiot. Burning down a state building kills people whether anybody is inside or not.

The State itself kills way more than any negative effects of burning down one of their institutions.

Those services are provided to people through the distribution of resources to communities that need them. The state only exists to control how this happens, and predominantly works to frustrate these efforts in order to facilitate profit growth for the capitalist market.

As an Anarchist, yes, I fully believe a stateless society would be leagues better than one that suffers under an unjust hierarchy that only exists to serve the interests of capital.

Nice red herring though with the last point. Never said other States would just sit idly by. Which is why forms of defense will still need to be organized and there are many different ways to organize community defense that don't rely on a state hierarchy.

Burning a State building only burns down a building, nothing more.
