Please fill me up on this gap in my knowledge. You look to destroy class and state in the hopes of creating a, for lack of a better word, utopia. Well, once this has been acoomplished, what do you mean to do? Once the revolution has been won, society invariably has to be restructured; if such were not done an anarchaic agglomeration will arise.
Now, lets have the scenario be that the people (the "citizens" if you please) abide by a standard protocol of moral guidelines, will this society be perfect? The means of having a classless society is still yet unfounded as people can only do what they know how to. If the people are allowed to a limitless lifestyle then eventually competition will arise. It is an anavoidable fact that people will struggle against eachother. The reasons are still debateable, as likely perpetually they will remain, but if a society's caste is completely abbolished it only gives people the chance to elevate themselves. It is important then to keep caste insofar as it allows people to be judged emeritusly instead of by the sheer amount of luck or cheating these people have. If you destroy the state, you also destroy the people.
It would be a wise option to look upon a new philosophy, which I mean to say would be peaceful reform. Satyagraha if you please to know it is, but any violent actions cannot yield much of lasting consequence and neither would spontaneous actions. An anarchaic society will bring only those things and nothing much more.
