Posting to 'grad because I don’t know where that’d belong on 'bear. I hope it’s OK!
I genuinely cannot see how anarchism could work large scale, but there are anarchist spaces: anarchist communes. I think after a leftist revolution the world would be generally communist, but there would be independent anarchist communes. I think that’d be a true way anarchists and communists could coexist in reality. Alongside one another but not forced to abandon their political stances.
I spoke of after the revolution, not before.
Also,
The issue is the revolution is not an instant snap to full communism. There will need to be structures in place to prevent the slipping back into capitalism, and the undermining of the new proletarian state by internal and external forces. This means things like police, military, and government, but fundamentally different as the structure of the society they serve will not be designed to protect the wealthy. The transition from revolution to full stateless, classless, moneyless communism will take an unknown amount of time.
Do you think that a revolution creates instant communism?
You realize that it might take centuries for a socialist nation to fully become communist?
Do you think the USSR was a communist country? Or China?
Also independent is a complete oxymoron in this situation. You cant be independent from all aspects of the grander society.
Is the commune going to have its own power grid? How about a fully fleshed out hospital? How are they going to get materials and resources they legitimately have no way of acquiring on their own?
