Both Marxists and anarchists agree that the ultimate end goal is communism, right? A classless, stateless society.
So like in the first 100 days of the USSA would it be acceptable to most anarchists to allow them to pursue anarchy in like communes and extended formal boarders similar to, broadly, like how Hong Kong or the Vatican worked. A sort of city-state situation?
It involves boarders and some formalized trade agreements and everything else anarchists hate, but would something like that be possible in the name of revolution? A sort of temporary two state solution.
Maybe I'm completely missing the point but I'm just trying to think of how to make it work in a pragmatic sense
This is kind of what I was getting at. I wonder if socialism with American characteristics is better suited to the task because of our federated history. Something like the EU but not neoliberal and regions are granted enough autonomy to pursue Anarchist thought.
Of course that brings its own host of issues about how things get split up, but thats a whole problem in itself
That reminds me of something I was pondering the other day but then forgot about again.
Imagine if you had something like an ML state with distinct regions organized within it as anarchist communes, doesn't that by itself challenge the notion that you would need the state at all?
And would that be something that is by itself therefore unacceptable to the state, or at least to the bureaucrat class that necessarily forms within the state?
I think that would be the goal and probably what Lenin was hoping for in the USSR, after a radical restructuring, the state becomes basically just a trade organization.
That would make sense, basically something like a loose framework that can come together as is necessary at times and disband or go dormant when it is not needed anymore at a later point?
