I believe the thinking is that you can't really have the state wither away while capitalist states remain predominant on the planet.

    And capitalist states will remain as long as you have capitalists.

    Gotta disagree here. You can have capitalists without them being in control of the state. That's what most of Europe was during the early modern period. Capital existed, but political institutions were mostly still geared around the aristocracy and the Catholic church.
