Communism is essentially the next step after socialism, which is basically Anarchy (As in you get rid of the state)
In my humble opinion, You cannot achieve Communism

This isn’t correct, at least not with respect to Marxism. The Marxist theory of the State is not the same as the Anarchist theory of the State, Marxists see it as an instrument of Class oppression and Anarchists see it as an institution of hierarchy and a monopoly on violence. This means for Marxists, a fully publicly owned, centrally planned world republic is “stateless” as there are no classes, while for Anarchists it would look more like a horizontal spiderweb network of communes.

Central Planners, elected officials, managers, etc. Similar to how it is done in the government already in Capitalist nations like the Post Office. Communism would have a government, just not a “state” as Marx outlined it.
