I mean, that's kinda the same as saying a liberal state government can't protect you from the federal government. Either way, vulnerable communities setting up self protection/mutual aid network is going to offer more protection than any state actor would.

It's not usually the state that you have to really worry about. It's usually the paramilitary group that do most of the violence, and you can definitely take steps to arm a community against those.

To a degree, legal weed still exists so the state isn't totally powerless

Yeah it's usually not, but these are not usual times are they? The state has a lot of power.
