I could be wrong, but I think everyone, from communists to anarchists, believe that, under communism, once the state has gone, we'll still need governance, just not via a state--ie. one decision-making body, separate from the people, that has a monopoly on violence and makes laws and enforces them through coercion, etc.

You'll still need town councils and federated governance and, like, a train gang to keep the trains running and all that good stuff. It's hard to specifically prefigure, but it'll still all be organized :) after all, even MLs say it's just socialism until 'the state withers away' into communism, which is only pedantically different from 'abolish the state' :)
