It may not even be too intense of a question depending on how power is gained and when. I personally see China's development as a synthesis of anarchist elements during the cultural revolution and more traditional ML party structure. China's urban/rural divide represent different land management systems for instance as well. Cuban syndicalists/unions also frequently collaborate with the state in a similar way.
In those situations though the primary enemy was imperialism. Depending on how things go in the west, the anarchist/ML divide may not even be an issue, or it won't manifest that way. That's what I've always imagined, that the situation of an earnest socialist insurgency in the west would be such a drastically different situation that what we have now that there's probably going to be full volumes of new theory that have to be written.
That's a better way to put it, and I agree. I think sometimes people imagine that revolution in (say) the US would just look like the October Revolution come again. It won't. Our material conditions are vastly different, and the theory, tactics, concerns, and problems will be vastly different as well. There's certainly no need to do the enemy's work for him and reproduce the problems of the past before we even get to that juncture, and things may be so different we never need get there at all.
