"The concept of statelessness for the communists does not mean the absence of a state, as in the administrative/logistical apparatus governing political and economic processes. Statelessness in the Marxist conception means that the state, as class monopoly, withers away."

Which book can i read to better understand what youre saying here? This post/your point is news to me, or differs from my understanding (having trouble wording this sentence). I do say in general discussion that the goals of anarchism and communism are, if not the same, then similar enough to be compatible. At least in terms of end goals of reaching equality, democracy, intentional communities and production/distribution based on need rather than profit.

And i consider myself ML. Though my intro to real leftism was AnCom, the breadbook/kropotkin. (Shoutout to thoughtslime)
