Christianity as antithesis of statehood? Interesting.

Perhaps anarchy without contention, if indeed such a state of affairs could be maintained. In the strictest sense, even a theocracy is a state, where organisation is employed to mutual benefit.

I feel that perhaps Tolstoy was confused. Or his bias (as induced by his experiences of widespread fervour, in a Russia on the cusp of revolution) somehow coloured his appraisal. Even in the most ambiguous sense, his description warrants only parallels with statehood as something beyond the physical; in which case it's no comparison at all.

I'm smarter than Tolstoy! Fuck yeah!

Boiiiiiii!
