I believe in liberal democracy, and therefore the existence of the modern state.
However, I do believe that the maintenance of freedom and democracy requires that the power of the state be continuously held in healthy suspicion, and in many cases, actively challenged.
I definitely stop short of holding the goal of "burning it all down", as I think that would unleash untold suffering and catastrophe. In fact, I think this goal is ridiculously misguided.
