Thanks for answer and references, I will go through and read everything you linked

Appreciate the link, I will listen to it later today

Thank you for the detailed answer, but it created a lot of new questions for me. I think the most important one is the question of how communist society can react to conflict and “evil” without a state.

I get the impression from your answer that in communism, having a military is possible:

So you come up with a reason why you think your neighboring country might invade, and then you test it by diplomacy or war.

Also, from these statements, I gather that it’s possible under communism to actually limit somebody trying to seize power or just effectively start doing “organised crime”:

If the people who want to exploit others don’t have armies or wealth or positions of power, then they can’t do much.

It’s up to a communist society to recognize their own contradictions and resolve them before they cause crisis.

But how is it possible to have a military or to limit unjust behavior within society if there is no state?

Thanks, noted
