What do you envision it looking like?

I guess anarchism without adjectives, really. The potential is there for mutualism and communism and collectivism to exist together, provided it isn't something that could cause antagonism or sectarianism between people.

A directly democratic society based upon particapatory ideas, using both councils of workers and consumers to decide upon economic issues. Organisation would start at the local level with grassroots councils and the like, using principles of anti-coercion, anti-hierarchy and direct action. This could conceivably move upwards to the international level if the same principles were followed.

The society would need to be socially tolerant, with the understanding that if someone wanted to be a fascist or an anacho-capitalist they would have all the right to do so, acknowledging that nobody would take them seriously.

Politics don't exist in a classless society.

No it doesn't. Politics are an appendage of government, which is an institution of the state. Since the state no longer exists, nor does government, nor does politics.

What I believe the topic starter should have asked is what will the socio-economic system look like.

I'm talking about under the dictatorship of the proletariat and then socialism, not fully fledged communism, and this is not really directed at the anarchists on this forum, because their response is predictable.

Political parties still have a place in soviet democracy. Well, besides the fascists ofcourse.

The strong will rule over the weak, freely taking from them as they desire.
