A+ post. There are hundreds of examples of this, but I'm reminded of the anarchist blanket rejection of cops, intelligence services, armies, borders, structured organization... no, proletarian states absolutely need all of these things to survive, but the way they function in a communist society is completely different, because they serve workers, and not capital.
People who grew up in capitalist countries have never seen how these things can manifest themselves in positive and healthy ways, so they ignorantly denounce their communist equivalents.
