Things like the “dictatorship of the proletariat,” “communism,” “anarchy,” or “the revolution” isn't like capitalism with the alienation of our agency. Communism will not liberate women independently from our own self-activity. The moment one thinks of the DotP as an awesome apparatus that would implement their great programs through graduations of departments, organs, secretaries, and branches of government, they have already betrayed themselves as bourgeois revolutionaries and not communists. The DotP isn't a state nor is its power state power; it is an antistate in how its power is constituted on the basis of the abolition (and not reconstitution) of class society. Its character of coordination, organization, and coercion, flows from that constitution. Hence how anarchy and communism abolishes patriarchy, racism, caste, colonialism, borders, government, etc flows from the constitution of self-abolition. The DotP is us necessarily abolishing ourselves as men, women, workers, colonized, racialized, disabled, etc. The DotP will be “dictatorial” only in the sense that we—as workers, women, colonized, etc.—would suppress and resist any and all reimpositions of the normalcy that marks us as proletaianized, gendered, colonized, etc. beings. The reimposition of things like wage-labor is a clear mark by which the DotP has collapsed into normalcy. There won't be a guarantor of rights or its enforcement, there won't be petitioning of representatives or government, precisely because these are only necessary under the regime of domination perfected under the capitalist mode of production. There will only be us and our tasks.
