When people say that, they usually don't mean voting in primaries or wasting your precious life in a party.

Just look at how basically every left party in Europe has become a neoliberal painted in a different color. Germany has a coalition of "social democrats", a green party and liberals and they still cut welfare, try to deport black/brown people (sorely needed on the job market) and screw up climate politics.

Every concession made in favour of the left has been reached through mass movements.

Electoral politics won't work in favour of leftist goals. The system is rigged from the start.

Best you can do is vote for a lesser evil.

Too bad the server at least needs the player input data.

I'd also like to see more imagery of Jesus smashing up the temple rather than him calmly sitting under a tree.

Your coating might be ok for you still, while still having lost a lot of its' non-stickiness.

Usually, you can fry eggs on non-stick pans without butter (even if butter is delicious): can you sill do that?

It's usually not a chemical reaction like what's happening with acidic foods on the coating of a cast iron/carbon steel pan. Ceramics is quite brittle, so mechanical shocks can create micro cracks, which are hard to see but make food stick.

Ceramic loses its' non-stick properties quite fast, cause the coating gets micro-cracked.

If your kid starts yelling and screaming, smack em. If they cry, smack em again.

Username checks out.

What exactly do you mean? Monopolization? Superstructure? Violence? Where do I need to start? At the definition of a state?

My critique is as follows: Violence is currently monopolized by a hierarchical system of command & control - the state. I (and I'm presuming: OP as well) question the legitimacy of the state and its' monopoly of violence.

I would prefer it if the necessary amount of violence would be controlled by horizontal power structures.

But not all societies monopolize violence in an institutional superstructure.

You could argue that MLK didn't really work. And Gandhi's contemporaries weren't that peaceful, but quite influential. That narrative just isn't that great for the people in power.
