And who do you think the state and military backing of the state protects?

The state, its employees, and its interests. Not much more.

You don't think the state protects itself, its employees, or its interests in the US? What do you think it protects then?

The state protects those things but our system has placed private property on a pedestal to be valued more than human life

Private property rights are just a state interest that we've bullied the elites into accepting as a reality

At the top level, Businesses. Namely larger corporations. The CIA has effectively proven itself as a public-private cooperative in ways that no one asked for (except the wealthy) in South and Central America between the late 1950s and 1980s. But while this is the main priority, it isn’t the state’s sole priority. It also isn’t true to say the state’s priority is purely a cronyist protection of a generic “civil servant”. Truly shows how little you know about actual US government beyond congress.

The CIA is actually just evil and doesn't care if you're a communist or an American citizen. While doing all that regime stuff in South America, they were also kidnapping mentally ill Canadian and American hospital inpatients and giving them acid for hundreds of days on end.

Also if us just participating in the Cold War is enough to stifle the efforts of communism across the globe, maybe communism isn't such a great system of governance.
