That's just a communist thing, not an anarchist-specific thing...
Just like functional programing is about making state explicit, not making it go away.
Overall, both arms are wrong... so they cancel out or something like that.
Hm, i dont think AES amanaged to come close to this.
Anarchists like Baba Makhno came close, but given the circumstance, leader- or classless societies are kinda doomed to fail.
I'm not talking about "AES", I'm talking about communism. By the definition of "communism = AES" then communism doesn't abolish class, private property, the value-form, nations, etc.
Anarchism distinguishes itself from communism principally by an inherent opposition to hierarchy, and an opposition to many of the organisational forms that communists may advocate for or participate in, eg communist parties, councils, and any kind of structure that could constitute a hierarchy. And anarchists are inherently opposed to centralisation, and so on.
