In theory yes.

It just seems that somehow instead of less state, socialists always end up having more state, by taking eventually complete control of the economic sphere, besides everything else they can get their hands on. This they have in common with other radical statists like fascists.

It's almost as if Marx invented a godless religion with communism as the never arriving Paradise and socialist Statism as the world, filled with never ending suffering and slavery of the subjected masses under a all-powerful state apparatus. The unarmed worker drones dreaming at night about the mythical withering away of the state apparatus, the second coming of freedom.

And stateless communism, what does that even mean? If there is no state no centralized authority, everything is voluntary.

Therefore people can freely choose how to live. No need for communism, just freedom. Anarchism if you wish, or voluntaryism. Self organization.

No more centralized power structure, neither fascist, nor socialist, nor communist not Democratic...

Of course people can come together voluntary and organize under communist principles. As long as they don't force others into it everything is good.

They can share everything... In fact, they can do it even today!

I truely wish there was a better way of securing freedom than the right to own property, but im afraid there is none, especially if we don't think that the end justifies the means.

When the state takes over the means of production everyone eventually ends up a landless slave.

Just my two cents...

I really try to understand how Marxism always empowers the state while promising to abolish it.

It's like trying to get sober by drinking vodka.
