Insurrectionary Communism, is a Communist tendency that seeks to achieve communism through insurrection. Insurrectionary Communism is quite different from most communist tendencies, and can be differentiated through its refusal of the very concept of revolution. Rather than attempting to dismantle the present state and construct a new one, it seeks to abolish all repressive social relations of power and free desire through a process of insurrection. This process, distinct from the naive petit bourgeois utopianism of anarcho-communism, is inherently a process; it is not some ideal that is immediately realized. To insurrectionary communists, communism can only exist as a lived process rather than a heaven to be brought into existence. Insurrectionary Communism views itself as a movement to abolish the present state of things, rather than the proletarian movement. It is not a proletarian movement simply because it seeks to dissolve rather than affirm the proletarian condition, and subjectivity at large. Insurrectionary Communism is also unique in its approach to violence, differentiating between "anarchic violence" (violence/imposition against power at large) and both disciplinary (violence utilized by the state for disciplinary and biopolitical purposes fueled by the co-opted insurrection of the war machine) and revolutionary (violence for the purposes of establishing ideals and fixed systems) forms of violence.
