Let me first say that I am not an anarchist who wishes to magically wish away all power at the utopian stroke of the pen. Nor would this be desirable, given the current class composition of our society.
I do, however, insist that the Dictatorship of the Proletariat ("Regime" as it's fondly called by some of our comrades) is a temporary thing on the path towards some higher form of Communism. The American proletariat must construct a temporary dictatorship of the normies to violently suppress the reactionary forces of the banker oligarchy which threatens our Republic, but after this threat is neutralized, the institutions can play a solely defensive role while they erode.
There's an obsession with "regime" and power deeply engrained in some of our comrades. I find this off-putting from a propaganda perspective. Those who seek power are the least cut-out to maintain it. The first shall be last, the last shall be first. Only those who humble themselves to the role of servant are cut out for the towering heights. The corruption of our society is such that the power-hungry are given power, and the meek are trampled upon.
To speak of power is to withdraw all potential paths to power. You must seek instead humble service, and power will be given.
The point of the Communist State is to abolish itself by reaching such immense levels of material abundance such that there are no class distinctions which remain (the state exists due to the irreconcilability of class society, as Lenin says)
The final act of the Regime, after crushing the forces of reaction, is to abolish itself; 2nd Amendment style, neighborhood militias on every block, every family an army, every household a warlord, every man a king.
To worship regime, to worship power, is an earthly weak-minded thing. No earthly powers will stand against God; the wholeness and totality of the broad masses, of all of humanity, The Real.
We can talk of "mass character" of "the regime" but let's not forget that the regime is a temporary apparatus, the highest mode will require no such regime.
Institutions are fleeting. They are temporary. The Truth of the universe is Out There, beyond Jericho's walls, under the endless Blue Sky.
