What are your opinions on this?

[Q]

Welcome :)

If you have political questions, you can ask them in the Learning forum. That's why it's there after all!

If you have questions about your account, don't hesitate to send me a PM or ask here.

And I guess this is really a question for the Learning forum, but what are your opinions on this? Also, what are your political ideas in general?

That you're drawing a distinction between 'communists' and 'anarchist-communists' that isn't very clear?

Anarchist-communists are communists. 'Communists' includes 'anarchist-communists'. It also includes 'marxist communists'.

It's simple. Anarchists advocate dismantling a state firstly and all other things next.

Put it so simplistically, even quite a few Orthodox Marxists would recognise themselves in that.

And that's essentially why I'm not an anarchist. It doesn't even make sense to abolish the state before socialism is established, especially when you're to expect opposition. Russia, for one, had several different countries trying to intervene when they had their revolution.

One can't 'abolish the state', I supose that's the point of difference. The Marxist conception of the primacy of economic factors means the existence of the state is dependent on property and classes. Many (not all) anarchists think the state is actually something that can exist on its own independent of material conditions.
