The state and administration aren't necessarily the same thing, which is why I tend to stress the difference between collectivized and communalized production. Collectivized production requires the infrastructure of complex planning.
What is administration under communism? What would that look like?
A good preview is looking at socialist states currently, but with fully collectivized production and distribution globally, no borders, and no oppressive forces like police to enforce property rights. It's not that the state is killed, but that it withers due to becoming superfluous.
What socialist states don't have police? I china, Vietnam and Cuba all seams to have police.
Yes, as they have class struggle and haven't reached communism. Once production is fully collectivized does class disappear, and then the state becomes superfluous. Until then, it's necessary.
