    Capitalism cannot exist without a state ensuring the ruling class keeps being able to exploit the working class.

    Otherwise, who secures land claims? Or other private property from being taken by the working class?

      Without the state, use of force secures land claims, and corporations would be more than happy to release the hounds on the rest of us.

      A democratic state is a collection of people, mostly workers, that forces the distribution of wealth and ideally equal rights in a court of law and protection of public lands.

        You just described capitalism, with a fully privatized state. Much like the system in the US…
