“Sure, building the world’s largest economy and eliminating poverty looks nice and all, but have you considered that we Bakuninites have managed to keep a subreddit going for FOUR WHOLE YEARS?”

From what I understand, we don’t. Communism is achieved once humanity is past the point of needing a state, the state withers away as it becomes redundant. What form this will actually take, I don’t know, nations could still end up having defense forces, just ones that aren’t the military wing of the state. I don’t see the point in wondering about “full communism” because it’s something that we won’t even be close to achieving for our lifetimes, probably for centuries. I’m more interested in organising a socialist state than can withstand capitalist aggression. A society living in the future where there is no capitalism will have very different needs to our own AES and potential AES.
