Capitalism can’t function without a State, in a “minarchist” or “ancap” situation there would be some intermediary group with a monopoly on violence to suppress workers and hash out deals between business owners. Moreover, we exist in a world largely dominated by US Imperialism, we can’t just swap to minarchism or ancapism by gathering the infinity stones.
Whatever system we transition to must come from where it once was, even revolutionary societies have to deal with the holdovers from the previous Mode of Production. That’s why the Soviets had the NEP, in fact, they couldn’t just snap their fingers and institute what they wanted. It was a big deal when they managed to collectivize.
How do you personally reckon we can make it to your prefered organization of society, from where we are now? Genuinely curious.

Hold on, what does trotsky have to do with aliens? I thought that was only a posad thing.
Posadism is a subdivision of Trotskyism, IIRC.
