You are oversimplifying anarchism when you suggest that communalization necessarily leads to new classes or states. Anarchists don't reject global cooperation, they want it to be based on free association, not authority.
I'm simplifying for the sake of a Lemmy comment, sure, but just because anarchists say they don't reject global cooperation doesn't mean the decentralized and communalist nature of anarchism works well with that. Collectivized and planned production and distribution works because it has administration and the advantages large-scale industry and logistics brings. Trying to have a bunch of decentralized communes create, say, a smartphone, would be a nightmare.
