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, File:Soc.png classless, and post-monetary society based on a Gift Economy and Direct Democracy. Some forms of Anarcho-Communism are heavily influenced by File:Ego.png 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 File:Soc.png socialist currents after the   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 File:Soc.png Socialist journal founded in 1974 and produced in part by members of the File:Soc.png 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", although this differs amongst  

What differentiates Anarcho-Communism from other varieties of   Anarchism is that Anarcho-Communism also supports a Communist society in the   Marxist sense. This means that the Anarcho-Communist seeks to abolish all social hierarchy, in conjunction with a stateless, classes, post-scarcity, post monetary society where the means of production are owned collectively by the workers who use them.

To put it simply, Anarcho-Communism is the synthesis of   Marxism and   Anarchism.

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 File:Soc.png 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   Capitalist,   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.

Relationships

Comrades

Frenemies

  •   Marxist Feminism - Based communism and feminism but drop the statism.
  •   Left Communism - You're much preferable for a tankie, I guess. But please, for Kropotkin's sake, get off that armchair.
  • File:Prog.png Progressivism - Nothing personal, I just wish most of your followers would realize it's ok to own a gun.
  •   Marxism - We need to jump straight to a stateless classless society with no transitional state. Also, you expelled   Bakunin from the First Internationale. Love ya though, dad.
  •   Mutualism - "It is not the product of his or her labor that the worker has a right to, but to the satisfaction of his or her needs, whatever may be their nature."
  •   Anti-Fascism - I like you and all at least in principle, but some of your followers are too tankie, libby, or dogmatic, and many of my fellow anarchists are mixed on you as an actually effective force to spread anarchist ideas and praxis. Still not a full on terrorist group though. Just please try to attack actual fascists and not innocent people.
  • File:Ego.png Anarcho-Egoism - Max Stirner was cool. Still, stop being such a dipshit!
  •   Ochlocracy - Historically you are a wildcard. You have both been my greatest ally and my greatest enemy. Just why do so many self-proclaimed anarchists like   him and activists on Twitter like you so much?
  •   Post-Left Anarchism - Why do you hate me so much? Aside from the obvious economic discourse, it's not my fault many of my followers are into idpol.
  •   Georgism - Capitalist, but also a landlord-hating cat. Meow!
  •   Revolutionary Progressivism - I learned a lot from you, but please don't give fake #woke capitalists a free pass!
  •   World Federalism - Your whole global utopia of cooperation and alleged anti-colonialism stance is pretty based, but you aren't radical enough, and I don't like how many of your followers are a bunch of filthy neolibs. Also, cool it on the one world government/state thing.
  •   European Federalism - Same kind of issues as the guy above. Though the current EU can 100% eat my ass.
  •   Anationalism - Similar to above, but a fellow anarchist, but   he tells me you want to destroy peoples diverse backgrounds and languages to promote unity. Which is kinda imperialist cringe.
  •   Left-Rothbardianism - Better than ancap, I guess... but markets and private property are cringe.
  •   Posadism - You have some good ideas, but nuking the world is going way too far!
  •   Titoism - Cringe authoritarian socialist. But throwing fashies into pits!? BASED AS F*CK!
  •   Anarcho-Pacifism - Can you stop being such a goody two shoes all the time and realize that violence IS sometimes needed to fight fascism?
  •   Religious Anarchism - No gods, no masters.
  •   State Atheism - No gods, no masters.
  •   Democratic Socialism - You're pretty tolerable I guess... though tell some of your self-described American supporters to cut it out with that "nORwAy is A sOciaLISt utOPIa!!!" shit.
  •   Anti-Japaneseism - Are you ok dude?
  •   Illegalism - You don't want peaceful cooperation and you prefer violence? Cringe. At least we both like squatting.

To the hospital!
