You aren’t a communist (of the Marxian variety) if you don’t believe a proletarian state is necessary to secure the revolution from the inevitable bouregois counter revolution. The main disagreement with anarchist that communist have is the belief that the state can be done away with outright through shear will. So long as class conflict exists a state arise whether we like it or not. Even major anarchist projects have had some aspect of a state because a state is a phenomena that arises from the material conditions of class conflict not something we invent. I would rather the working class control that state until it becomes unnecessary and whithers away than try to create a stateless, classless, moneyless society while surrounded by the forces of capital that would see me killed for this desire.
