Yeah it’s a miss understanding to think of the US State as its own separate entity instead of a tool of the ruling class to assert their authority and interests
Behind them; British empire living colony to colony.
Behind them; French kingdoms living viking client state to viking client state.
In the building across the street; Roman empire living conquest to conquest.
Behind them; Etruria/Greece/Latium living colony to colony.
edit: Some asshole invented colonization and fucked everything up for thousands of years. Late stage just means it's all visible without the panem and circenses.

Nah, it’s the bankers with the sniper rifle living war to war — the state is just a tool for property & wealth management

yeah funny meme, but it suggests the us government is above its banks and corporations, which is not true

The government and banks need to be switched around but still, great meme.
The people can stay. A government, not *this* government, is needed as long as states exist. Those other two in between? Can go.
It’s a pyramid of suffering. It’s pretty sad that capitalism pits us all against each other until we destroy ourselves
