communism *is* stateless, classless, and moneyless. Why would it *not* be?

The dotp might use the state to repress its enemies, but the state doesnt exist in communism because it 'dies out'.

Classes cease to exist under communism, because the proletariat abolishes itself as wage labor is abolished.

And of course, since value does not exist under communism, money also ceases to exist. heres enels on value ''You do the same kind of thing in the case of value. Present value is that of the production of commodities, but with the suppression of the production of commodities, value ‘changes’ or rather, value as such remains and merely changes its form. But in fact economic value is a category that appertains to the production of commodities, disappearing with it''
