From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anarchist communism, also known as Anarcho-communism, is the belief that no hierarchies or money should exist, and that property and industry should be held in common by society.[1][2] Anarcho-communists support direct democracy and a network of voluntary associations, workers' councils, decentralised economic planning and a gift economy in which everyone will be free to satisfy their needs. Some well-known Anarcho-communist writers are Peter Kropotkin, Ricardo Flores Magnon and Nestor Makhno. Anarchist Communism is opposed to more authoritarian forms advocated by Leninists and Maoists. These groups have violently clashed in Russia, Korea and Spain over their beliefs. Some examples of Anarcho-Communism in practice include the Free Territory of Ukraine, Shinmin Autonomous Region, Revolutionary Spain and Open-Source Software.
