Notice the hammer/anvil and anarchy symbols at the top of this page.

EDIT: why is this in opposing ideologies?

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Yes, anarcho-communism is a real ideology.

Almost all anarchists have a socialist goal, with the exception of some anarcho-capitalist libertarians. But usually when one speaks of anarchism, the goal is communism. many of the liberal anarchists who have shit for brains will probably never say that they want communism because they know nothing about communism. But in reality, a society without hierarchy is a classless society and that's what communism is. Anarchists tend to reject the need for a dictatorship of the proletariat and democratic centralism.

It's also known as libertarian socialism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-communism).

First you define commnism,
Communists aim for a classless, stateless society. Run economically along the lines from each according to ability, to each according to need. (Which can be interpreted in a number of ways).

Then you define anarchism,
Anarchists aim for a world where there are no power hierarchy's. Run econommically along the lines from each what they want, to each what they need.
People who claim to be capitalist and anarchist, aren't anarchist. Capitalism entails hierarchy.
There is such a thing as indervidualistic anarchism, but it isn't anything to do with capitalism.

Anarcho-communism combinds communism with anarchism. But because communism is a subset of anarchism, if you interpret the 'from each' to mean that if a person doesn't want to work they are unable, then you may as well call yourself a communist. If you don't then that would be the only difference between the two end societies.

Anarcho-communism is a term, but a redundant one.

Not at all.


Wikipedia
Libertarian socialists usually call themselves anarchists except when necessary to disambiguate or disassociate themselves with others, typically the anarcho-capitalists, who use the same term. Libertarian socialism should not be confused with capitalist libertarianism, the philosophy associated with groups such as the United States Libertarian Party. The two philosophies are only alike in their professed love of liberty and in their opposition to statism, hence the similarity in name; but are drastically different regarding the legal issues of private property. In this article, the terms libertarian socialism, libertarian communism, anarcho-communism and left-anarchism are used as synonyms.

According to wikipedia I am quite near on the libertarian socialism. But mostly I am just leftie. :)

What is communist anarchism? (http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/Anarchist_Archives/bright/berkman/comanarchism/whatis_toc.html) Simple and easy to read.

What the hell is the difference between a left-anarchist and an anarchist? Or a libertarian communist or a communist? In each case the first term is redundent because the two terms mean the same thing. Just as anarcho-communist is redundent 'cause it either means communist or anarchist (which in themselves can mean the same thing). :)
