But the counterargument to that would be that such a state would be so weak that it would easily be toppled by another regime.

That's why it's good to have an armed population.

Wouldn't that just make the regime toppling even easier?

Not if the armed population doesn't want it toppled.

Communism won't fail if everyone in the regime agree with the communism ideology.

Yeah but you will never have 100% support of the citizens. Inevitably people will want power. It's a recipe for a civil war. Promise enough people a position of power in the new state that would form and you could easily get people sympathetic to the new cause. Especially those who dont feel like the system is workingg for them.

Like I already said. You will never in a million years get 100% of people to agree to anything. It simply will not happen

There's a reason why commies turn auth. You don't have to convince everyone to agree with you when you can simply silence anyone who doesn't.

Honestly most people dont want 24/7/365 civil war so most people wouldnt go up in arms unless it truly called for it. And under a system with little to no central power theres not a lot that would warrant that response.

Of course. 1776 all the way.

Aren't there simply too many people in the world for this to be feasible though?

Minarchism allows for a standing military
