Sorry to chime in here but I had a weird thought: Capitalist institutions are beginning to supercede the nation-state under globalization. Anarchist/revolutionary movements seek to undermine the capitalist nation-state. Is there some kind of dialectical convergence possible between these ideas?
For example, Standard and Poors and Moody's bond rating agencies basically supercede the authority of local accounting and securities regulation regimes. Either borrowers meet the standard of these agencies or they don't get access to the global debt markets. Isn't that an example of people forming relationships outside of the compulsion of state power, albeit a capitalist one?
After all, capitalists treat each other very well. If we all got the respect that the capitalist class give one another, the liberal-democratic state would begin to look like the socialist/anarcho-syndicalist state.
