    4. In the Marxist sense, statelessness does entail the absence of a government as a tool of class oppression. However, it does not mean the absence of any form of governance. The Soviet state, with its centralized authority and control, did not align with the vision of statelessness as envisaged by Marx.

      Statelessness comes after Socialism’s contradictions have been eliminated. You are anarchist-washing Marx here.

      I suggest reading Critique of the Gotha Programme.
