Is communist minarchy a thing?

is communist minarchy a thing?

no, because there's no state in communism.

He means "minarchy" as in a handful of enlightened aliens guiding us in the early stages of communism. So yeah that's not only a thing, it's quite probable.

Not OP.
lets reword his question to "socialist minarchy"

Ah. Then pretty much all libertarian socialist strains that aren't full anarchism could be considered "minarchist." Things like Libertarian Municipalism, various forms of Libertarian Marxism (Council communism, a few varieties of Leftcoms, DeLeonism, etc), a few mutualists I've met advocate small government over proper anarchy, etc.

I've never found the term "minarchist" to be particularly useful however, as it often seems to try and sell itself as a "less harsh" anarchism, as though the latter is inherently undesirable outcome despite the fact that a revolution that can establish "minarchism" was entirely capable of anarchism given the existing organizational foundations. It strikes me as often an unnecessary concession made on the behalf of those who cannot grasp the idea that a state need not exist for its own sake. At best, the "state" is vestigial to the point where its existence is simply lipservice to the aforementioned crowds, but even then there is no guarantee it will remain as such.
That all being said, obviously my support would still lie with "minarchy" over more authoritarian alternatives.
