Most people who take the political compass like me land in the green yet because authoritarian communism the left has a bad name.

No matter how people feel about it, they should read "Homage to Catalonia" for a very interesting perspective on Communists vs. Anarchists vs. Trotskyists (and...many other factions) in the Spanish Civil War. I never meet people I can talk to about it.

Fun fact: Mao's Great Leap Forward Year 1 was hugely successful and popular even with the workers... it was when the government meddled with the communes that it crashed and burned.

Communism is just capitalism with extra steps.

A system in which all forms of higher government are rendered effectively meaningless and all people are forced to rely on small scale local communities is literally a regression to stone age. There's really no way to spin anarcho-communism to make it viable as anything other than a small-scale experiment that cannot last.

The kibbutz system in Israel has lasted for 112 years, even if it's been through changes since the 1980s.

I don't know, I tend to fall in that area too but I'm not sure about the idea of direct democracy anymore. It will probably just turn out like Reddit.

Yeah, it's a small community of roughly 200. It's been shown 200 or less is the ideal amount for a small tribe of people

Anything anarcho is inherently a power vacuum. Outside of tiny communities, it is just not a system that is built to last. Anarcho communism will quickly devolve into authoritarian communism with any significant population size because power vacuums are very attractive to despots

It's the perfectly natural ideology for small communities though, and I appreciate that anarcho communists still generally respect the idea of individual liberty, something that is in stark contrast to authoritarian communists
