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.

  In the colloquial sense, yes, hence the widespread misundertanding of Marxism among those who haven’t read him. For Marx, though, organization and hierarchy aren’t a problem in classless society, and are rather essential tools to provide for all.

  That’s the Anarchist critique of Marxism in its barest and simplest form, to be sure. I don’t generally agree with this, though, such a statement ignores material democratic structures and methods of ensuring accountability.
