      A good preview is looking at socialist states currently, but with fully collectivized production and distribution globally, no borders, and no oppressive forces like police to enforce property rights. It’s not that the state is killed, but that it withers due to becoming superfluous.

        What socialist states don’t have police? I china, Vietnam and Cuba all seams to have police.

          Yes, as they have class struggle and haven’t reached communism. Once production is fully collectivized does class disappear, and then the state becomes superfluous. Until then, it’s necessary.
