Hot take: Lenin's position in state and rev that the existing state should be smashed in favour of the armed working class and workers councils is just him unknowingly repeating anarchist theory from before the Paris Commune even happened.

At this point the only real difference between his position and anarchism would be about the precise manner in which decisions are made or how workers councils coordinate over a large area. Topics which Lenin is, unlike anarchists, very vague and imprecise about in state and rev.

In practice the Bolsheviks never implemented state and revolution and, according to the main theorists involved, took over the existing state and did not smash it. https://twitter.com/anarchopac/status/1295275851416731649?s=19
