The thing is, it is hard to imagine what a society with no formal state would look like. We can barely fathom what a classless society would be like, therefore it is impossible to define how such a society would operate. Ideally, all decisions about society would be made by the society and all decisions regarding the economy (what to produce, how long to work, etc.) would be made by the workers (who compose the society). This could work in a true democracy or a republic, or with no government at all.
