Abolition of the state does not mean abolition of organization

The state is an organization with a monopoly on the legitimate use of violence based on centralization of power. An anarchist society would be organized by voluntary non-hierarchical associations, instead of by hierarchical organizations like states and corporations. In anarcho-communism if a farmer wanted to build a barn s/he would ask other farmers or builders to help him/her. There would probably be a farmers' syndicate which farmers would belong to in which farmers could self-organize to achieve things that can't be done by just one person. The syndicate would be organized along decentralized directly democratic lines and would be a voluntary organization, created by the farmers and run by the farmers. There could also be syndicates for other occupations. These syndicates could also cooperate with each other when needed. See here or here for more on this.
