    One of many reasons why I’m an anarcho-communist and not authoritarian communist.

    Edit: no, it’s anarcho-communism is not an oxymoron; it’s about everyone communally working together and owning their resources without any sort of political hierarchy. You don’t need money, states, borders, or dictators to publicly own goods.

        No, not at all. Communism is about publicly owned resources, not necessarily rulers. Communities could work together and have equal opportunities for housing, food, etc.

          I thought anarchy wasn’t against just rulers, but government and central authority as well?

          Genuinely curious, these things seem at odds to me - although a govt without rulers also seems odd, so idk.

            There is no central authority or government. Like I said, you don’t need authorities to build houses. If everyone can work together and craft proper resources for their communities, then everyone has equal opportunities to having goods and services.

            Anarchism is about mutual aid at an equal level. Every politician counts as a ruler to some degree and we need none of those.
