Good question! This needs an article in itself - I have lots of ideas of transition - I don’t think we need to rip up or replace everything - many practical things already work, they just need to work more fairly and without oppressive power structures and without them being restricted by ability to pay.

I’d be happy to see a transition brought about through or alongside Syndicalism - that is turning workplaces fully Socialist - with workers managing and owning the means of production - that is potentially in line with a transition to a a stateless, moneyless, classless, propertyless, hierarchyless world.

However, that is Socialism despite the state and in opposition to the state. When it comes to state Socialism I don’t think that kind of system - which still relies on hierarchy, force and ownership - could ever achieve the ideals of communism or even really of socialism because its power structure will always undermine and keep that those ideals from being achieved. Does that make sense?
