   Something I'm thinking of at the moment: How can we think of public capacity as separated/liberated from the state and state capacity?

     @ch0ccyra1n sure, but that's very micropolitical. How do we bridge that with a macropolitical conception of society writ large? How do we conceive of social capacity, not merely as the aggregate of individual capacity, but as worth more than the sum of its parts?

     @abolisyonista I suppose my approach would be to think in terms of individuals and their particular capacities rather than either a public or state capacity (how unexpected for an individualist anarchist /s). How much can an individual contribute to [insert thing here] or alternatively accomplish on their own? Given the complete lack of involvement of the state in this way of thinking, I'd consider it to be quite liberated.
