Duh. To abolish the state it is neccessary to buil
"communism from the bottom up ", capitalism would not exist
as anarchisam denotes breaking down all hierachical structures.
Before you say impossile please note that throught he majority
of human history horizontal decision making structures have
been the case.
Spain iduring the civil war and parts of italy in the late
20 's are examples of millions of people living fror substantial
periods of time in anarcho - syndicalist societies.
