It’s not paradoxal. Anarchists believe they can abolish the state (which even then does not necessarily mean abolishing power) while there is still reaction surrounding them. But believing in something and changing the meaning of words still does not make it true. Perhaps in 500 years when communism has had a good run, things will be different. Until then, they are the only ones pretending they are not a state when they wield the monopoly of violence they are so fond of.
:D
