Anarcho-Communism

This page is about the ideology referred to achieving Communism as an end goal. For other uses, see Communism.

"All belongs to all. All things are for all men … All is for all!"

Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin

Anarcho-Communism (AnCom) is an anarchist socialist and usually culturally progressive ideology inhabiting the bottom left corner of the political compass. It believes in the abolition of the state and all structures of capital, leading to a stateless, classless, and post-monetary society based on Direct Democracy. Some forms of Anarcho-Communism are heavily influenced by Anarcho-Egoism and radical individualism, believing Anarcho-Communism to be the best social system for the realization of individual freedom (although this is HIGHLY contended within various anarchist groups, especially on the debate of morality, ethics, individual freedoms, identity politics, localism vs internationalism, freedom of speech, and organization). Many AnComs view Anarcho-Communism as a way of reconciling the gap between the individual and society. Although even this is highly contested.

History

Creation

Although proto-anarchism has been seen in various societies in various forms throughout history, the main understanding of Anarcho-Communism as it is often known today first arose and developed out of radical socialist currents after the File:Jack.png French Revolution. The works of Russian political theorist and activist Peter Kropotkin and took importance later as Anarcho-Communist theory expanded on and developed pro-organizational and insurrectionary anti-organizational sections, such as those by Anarcho-Collectivist Mikhail Bakunin. Anarcho-Communism has actually had places in history, the best-known examples of which are the anarchist territories during the Spanish Revolution and the Free Territory during the Russian Revolution, where anarchists such as Nestor Makhno worked to create and defend anarcho-communism through the Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army of Ukraine from 1919 before being conquered by the Bolsheviks in 1921.

Spanish Civil War

Through the efforts and influence of the Spanish anarchists during the Spanish Revolution within the Spanish Civil War starting in 1936, Anarcho-Communism existed in most of Aragon, parts of the Levante and Andalusia as well as in the stronghold of Anarchists Catalonia before being crushed by the combined forces of the Francoist Nationalists (the regime that won the war), Nationalist allies such as Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini and even Spanish Communist Party repression (backed by the Soviet Union) as well as economic and armaments blockades from the capitalist states and the Spanish Republic itself governed by the Republicans. However, some anarchists, such as the Friends of Durriti group, opposed the CNT-FAI for collaborating with the liberal government in the war.

Expansion

The Anarcho-Communist movement expanded much more heavily in the post-war era, with Anarchist movements popping up all over continental Europe, developing from anti-fascist resistance. The main movements were established both in Italy and France, where a sizeable following after the turmoil of the Second World War. In the post Fascist Italy, the Italian Anarchist Movement was formed right after the end of the war in 1945. It was based on "a Libertarian Party with anarchist theory and practice adapted to the new economic, political and social reality of post-war Italy, with an internationalist outlook and effective presence in the workplaces." On top of this, The International of Anarchist Federations (IAF/IFA) was founded during an international anarchist conference in Carrara in 1968 by the three existing European anarchist federations of France (Fédération Anarchiste), Italy (Federazione Anarchica Italiana) and Spain (Federación Anarquista Ibérica) as well as the Bulgarian federation in French exile.

Modern Day

In contemporary times, Libertarian Communism was a Socialist journal founded in 1974 and produced in part by members of the Socialist Party of Great Britain. The synthesist Italian Anarchist Federation and the Platformist Federation of Anarchist Communists continue existing today in Italy but Insurrectionary Anarchism continues to be relevant as the recent establishment of the Informal Anarchist Federation shows.

Foundations and Beliefs

Anarcho-Communism is a exceptionally far left ideology. Like most forms of Anarchy, Anarcho-Communism seeks to abolish all unnecessary hierarchy, including "the state." Generally among Anarchist circles, what constitutes as an unnecessary hierarchy is any social hierarchy which cannot be logically justified. The abolition of these hierarchies is considered to be the true definition of " Anarchy".

Communist anarchists argue that the liberation of the working class and the establishment of communism must occur simultaneously, without one phase serving as a prerequisite for the other. These anarchists believe that the state and all forms of  hierarchy should be abolished from the outset, as any form of authority can potentially lead to the re-emergence of oppressive structures. Communist anarchists describe a society where the means of production and resources are owned collectively and managed by local communities or worker councils. Production and distribution are organized according to the principles of "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs." Without private property or profit motives, goods and services are distributed based on genuine needs rather than market forces.

Variants

Kropotkinism

Critique of capitalism

Kropotkin critiqued the fallacies of feudalism and capitalism's economic systems. He believed they created poverty and artificial scarcity and promoted privilege. Alternatively, he proposed a more decentralized economic system based on mutual aid and voluntary cooperation. He argued that the tendencies for this kind of organization exist in evolution and human society.

Kropotkin partly disagreed with the Marxist critique of capitalism, including the labor theory of value, believing there was no necessary link between work performed and the values of commodities. His attack on the institution of wage labor was based more on employers' power over employees and not only on extracting surplus value from their labor. Kropotkin claimed this power was made possible by the state's protection of private ownership of productive resources. However, Kropotkin believed the possibility of surplus value was itself the problem, holding that society would still be unjust if the workers of a particular industry kept their surplus to themselves rather than redistributing it for the common good.

Critique of state socialism

Kropotkin believed that a communist society could be established only by a social revolution, which he described as, "... the taking possession by the people of all social wealth. It is the abolition of all the forces which have so long hampered the development of Humanity". However, he criticized forms of revolutionary methods (like those proposed by Marxism and Blanquism) that retained the use of state power, arguing that any central authority was incompatible with the dramatic changes needed by a social revolution. Kropotkin believed that the mechanisms of the state were deeply rooted in maintaining the power of one class over another and thus could not be used to emancipate the working class. Instead, Kropotkin insisted that private property and the state must be abolished together.

The economic change that will result from the Social Revolution will be so immense and so profound it must change all the relations based today on property and exchange that it is impossible for one or any individual to elaborate on the different social forms that must spring up in the society of the future. [...] Any authority external to it will only be an obstacle, only a trammel on the organic labor which must be accomplished, and beside that a source of discord and hatred.

Kropotkin believed that any post-revolutionary government would lack the local knowledge to organize a diverse population. Their vindictive, self-serving, or narrow ideals would limit their vision of society. To ensure order, preserve authority, and organize production, the state must use violence and coercion to suppress further revolution and control workers. The workers would be reliant on the state bureaucracy to organize them, so they would never develop the initiative to self-organize as they needed. This would lead to the re-creation of classes, an oppressed workforce, and eventually another revolution. Thus, Kropotkin wrote that maintaining the state would paralyze any true social revolution, making the idea of a "revolutionary government" a contradiction in terms:

We know that Revolution and Government are incompatible; one must destroy the other, no matter what name is given to the government, whether dictator, royalty, or parliament. We know that what makes the strength and the truth of our party is contained in this fundamental formula — "Nothing good or durable can be done except by the free initiative of the people, and every government tends to destroy it;" so the very best among us, if their ideas had not to pass through the crucible of the popular mind, before being put into execution, and if they should become masters of that formidable machine — the government — and could thus act as they chose, would become in a week fit only for the gallows. We know whither every dictator leads, even the best-intentioned — namely to the death of all revolutionary movements.

Rather than a centralized approach, Kropotkin stressed the need for a decentralized organization. He believed that dissolving the state would cripple counter-revolution without reverting to authoritarian methods of control, writing, "To conquer, something more than guillotines are required. It is the revolutionary idea, the truly wide revolutionary conception, which reduces its enemies to impotence by paralyzing all the instruments by which they have governed hitherto."[59] He believed this was possible only through a widespread "Boldness of thought, a distinct and wide conception of all that is desired, a constructive force arising from the people in proportion as the negation of authority dawns; and finally—the initiative of all in the work of reconstruction—this will give to the revolution the Power required to conquer."

Kropotkin applied this criticism to the Bolsheviks' rule following the October Revolution. Kropotkin summarized his thoughts in a 1919 letter to the workers of Western Europe, promoting the possibility of revolution and warning against the centralized control in Russia, which he believed had condemned them to failure. Kropotkin wrote to Lenin in 1920, describing the desperate conditions he believed would result from bureaucratic organization and urging Lenin to allow for local and decentralized institutions. Following an announcement of executions later that year, Kropotkin sent Lenin another furious letter, admonishing the terror that Kropotkin saw as needlessly destructive.

Cooperation and competition

In 1902, Kropotkin published his book Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution, which gave an alternative view of animal and human survival. At the time, some proponents of "Social Darwinism," such as Francis Galton, proffered a theory of interpersonal competition and natural hierarchy. Instead, Kropotkin argued that "it was an evolutionary emphasis on cooperation instead of competition in the Darwinian sense that made for the success of species, including humans". In the last chapter, he wrote:

In the animal world, we have seen that the vast majority of species live in societies and that they find in association the best arms for the struggle for life: understood, of course, in its wide Darwinian sense – not as a struggle for the sheer means of existence, but as a struggle against all natural conditions unfavorable to the species. The animal species [...] in which individual struggle has been reduced to its narrowest limits [...] and the practice of mutual aid has attained the greatest development [...] are invariably the most numerous, the most prosperous, and the most open to further progress. The mutual protection obtained in this case, the possibility of attaining old age and accumulating experience, higher intellectual development, and the further growth of sociable habits secure the maintenance of the species, its extension, and its further progressive evolution. The unsociable species, on the contrary, are doomed to decay.

Kropotkin did not deny the presence of competitive urges in humans but did not consider them the driving force of human history. He believed that seeking out conflict proved to be socially beneficial only in attempts to destroy injustice and authoritarian institutions such as the state or the Russian Orthodox Church, which he saw as stifling human creativity and impeding human instinctual drive towards cooperation.

Kropotkin claimed that the benefits arising from mutual organization incentivize humans more than mutual strife. His hope was that in the long run, mutual organization would drive individuals to produce. Anarcho-primitivists and anarcho-communists believe that a gift economy can break the cycle of poverty. They rely on Kropotkin, who believed that the hunter-gatherers he had visited implemented mutual aid.

Mutual aid

In his 1892 book The Conquest of Bread, Kropotkin proposed a system of economics based on mutual exchanges made in a system of voluntary cooperation. He believed that in a society that is socially, culturally, and industrially developed enough to produce all the goods and services it needs, there would be no obstacle, such as preferential distribution, pricing, or monetary exchange, to prevent everyone from taking what they need from the social product. He supported the eventual abolition of money or tokens of exchange for goods and services.

Kropotkin believed that Mikhail Bakunin's collectivist economic model was just a wage system by a different name[70] and that such a system would breed the same type of centralization and inequality as a capitalist wage system. He stated that it is impossible to determine the value of an individual's contributions to the products of labor. He thought that anyone in a position of trying to make such determinations would wield authority over those whose wages they determined.

According to Kirkpatrick Sale, "[w]ith Mutual Aid especially, and later with Fields, Factories, and Workshops, Kropotkin was able to move away from the absurdist limitations of individual anarchism and no-laws anarchism that had flourished during this period and provide instead a vision of communal anarchism, following the models of independent cooperative communities he discovered while developing his theory of mutual aid. It was an anarchism that opposed centralized government and state-level laws as traditional anarchism did but understood that at a certain small scale, communities, communes, and co-ops could flourish and provide humans with a rich material life and wide areas of liberty without centralized control."

Self-sufficiency

Kropotkin's focus on local production led to his view that a country should strive for self-sufficiency by manufacturing its goods and growing its food, thus lessening the need to rely on imports. To these ends, he advocated irrigation and greenhouses to boost local food production.

Personality and Behaviour

AnCom is a very emotional individual. He has an extremely vengeful passion for revolution and has a high amount of empathy with oppressed groups. However, this can also make him difficult to disagree with. He is very concerned with the abolition of the state as well as private property and goes ballistic whenever any other ideology questions his resolve. Although being ideologically similar in economic terms to Socialism and Marxism, he doesn't hesitate to vehemently criticize them for being statist.

AnCom is typically written as a rebellious teen who likes to take recreational drugs, especially marijuana. He especially likes vandalism and destruction of private property.

AnCom, despite constantly critiquing Marxism & especially its descendants, will defend them when Capitalism does the same.

Stylistic Notes

AnCom is often very aggressive and passionate in conversation, and has a habit of making loud screeching noises after hearing Liberal, Capitalistic, Reactionary or Authoritarian comments. Conservatism calls this "being triggered" because of his stereotypical "SJW" behavior, AnCom is frequently depicted as having an irrational hatred of straight white men. Later portrayals of AnCom have him shouting walls of text, especially when he is attempting to tell a joke which instead comes off as him whining and justifying his beliefs. Said walls of texts are usually random passages or incomprehensible gibberish found on the web or The Conquest Of Bread to save time on comics. His favorite weapon is the Molotov cocktail and he has a tendency to use it a lot.

He's usually seen with a bat or hood. He also wants to be a cat, for some reason.
