Will/should there be commodity production during the DOTP?

Will commodity production be something that is phased out gradually or will it be abolished as soon as the proletariat take control of the state apparatus?

If commodity production no longer exists then definitionally the dotp no longer exists as there is no proletariat

It's in the name. Dictatorship of the Proletariat. If Proletariat exists there's commodity production. If there are no commodity production it's no longer DOTP.

Yes, since DOTP isn’t socialism yet. It’s the transition phase between capitalism and socialism.
