What makes you think communists are anarchists? Communism takes democracy to its logical extent. Social democracy is where we govern as a community and we vote on everything that is anything. Laws get voted on and business gets voted on. Communism > the masses decide. Anarchism > I’ll do what I think is good for me.
Communism > people work together without classes (means no government because that would put people above others. Your idea of communism being the tyranny of the majority does not stand)
No, communism is absolutely a form of government. There are elected leaders and policy is still passed. Arguably there is more bureaucracy than in socialist countries if real communism is implemented.
Wikipedia describes communism as a stateless society.
A communist society entails the absence of private property and social classes, and ultimately money and the state.
In response to the question “What will be the course of this revolution?” in The Principles of Communism (1847), Friedrich Engels wrote: “Above all, it will establish a democratic constitution, and through this, the direct or indirect dominance of the proletariat.” While Marxists propose replacing the bourgeois state with a proletarian semi-state through revolution (dictatorship of the proletariat), which would eventually wither away, anarchists warn that the state must be abolished along with capitalism. Nonetheless, the desired end results (a stateless communal society) are the same.
How do you explain the existence of anarchist communism if the two are mutually exclusive?
