This question depends on definitions, but lets forget that for now. A state, although perhaps not inherently oppressive, is a hierarchy which facilitates the wielding of power and thus (opens the way to) oppression. Same way as religious or economic hierarchies are used.

So in short, theoretically I’m not per definition against a state but practice shows a state is always a tool used for oppression.

yea I was trying to say anarchist without saying anarchist :)

Authoritarian communists vs libertarian communists – but the libertarian there tripped me up into a state of doubt. Marxists vs anarchists could’ve done as well, but it might not necessarily be linked to communism or socialism at all, and just saying something about the nature or cause of authoritarianism, hence the dumbing down to non-authoritarian.
