§ 01
The Idea
What Anarcho-Communist actually means.
Anarcho-Communism envisions a stateless, classless society where property and resources are held in common, abolishing money and hierarchical governance.
Peter Kropotkin was a key proponent of Anarcho-Communism, advocating for mutual aid and communal ownership over state control. His vision emphasized decentralized federations managing resources collectively, replacing capitalist and hierarchical structures with cooperative, need-based distribution.
