Stateless Communism is the hypothetical stage of Communism following the collapse of State. Karl Marx described it as a society where each works to the fullest of his own abilities for the good of mankind, and where the product of his labour is shared freely to that society. In his own words: "In a higher phase of communist society... only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be fully left behind and society inscribe on its banners: from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."
