Anarchocommunists do better material analysis of communist revolutions and states than Marxist-Leninists do. That's why they're anarchists. Your "bureaucrats are not a class" spiel means that your "material class analysis" has a massive blind spot for bureaucrats as a material force that begets tyranny.

Boy I wonder why a tyrannical communist state ran by the bureacratic elite would propagandize a branch of communism that excludes the bureaucratic elite from material analysis.

Oh well, if only we had a form of material analysis to process this behavior. Maybe some kind of... state-skeptical communism? Anarchomarxism? Communo-anarchism?

Oh well a girl can dream...

That’s the point.

No, your point was that anarchist militias necessarily engage in oppression and are a state, neither of which you have yet demonstrated.

Take that sentence and replace anarchy with Marxism.

Okay. "Marxism always seeks to subvert one profession gaining power over another, such as a state bureaucrat having power over a farmer". Oh wow, if you define Marxism as anarchocommunism then Marxism is good! I love destroying the state apparatus with my Marxist friends!
