Definition of the word state
There are 8 definitions of the noun and 2 definitions of the verb.
In the sentence "abolish the state", which definition is best? I would posit 4a fits best. That is how I use the word in a political context. Based on context clues, you assumed I was using the more broad 5a.
Just because you're operating under a different assumption doesn't make it cherry picking
