After reading the fantasic Mutual Aid by Kropotkin my conclusion is that Dialectical materalism would always have led to heirarchy. It is true that the evidence suggests mutual aid led to human progression and we could live by it but ultimately when clans integrated during hardship, repaying servitude led to social order and the creation of faith moral standards maintained that order. Also mutual aid is only a factor within clans (community) and not the species as a whole. Animals do fight over territory from outsiders - and just by viewing human history we know this to be true for them too. And as that is a factor, the creation of states is inevitable to protect the self interest of the clan. So you can eliminate the state but ultimately they will return due to clan mentality and unless the clan is willing to accept refugees from other clans during hardship (which they might not do due to limited resources) conflict ultimately occurs and as such a state is created that way.
So the only realistically option to regain a mutual aid society is not anarchism but communism. Where states are created at first and those states integrate overtime when forming federations. Once the last state forms into one you have finally achieved a stateless society. But even this relies on Dialectical Materialism removing oneness mentality, the end of moral superiority from deity, ethical codes and the proletariat regaining their class consciousness. In other words, we have to wait until the end of Capitalism before the conditions for Mutual aid are possible.
