Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Some forms of Anarcho-Communism are heavily influenced by Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Anarcho-Egoism and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination radical individualism, believing Anarcho-Communism to be the best social system for the realization of individual freedom (although this is HIGHLY contended within various anarchist groups, especially on the debate of morality, ethics, individual freedoms, identity politics, localism vs internationalism, freedom of speech, and organization).

History

Creation

Although proto-anarchism has been seen in various societies in various forms throughout history, the main understanding of Anarcho-Communism as it is often known today first arose and developed out of radical Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination socialist currents after the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination French Revolution. The works of Russian political theorist and activist Peter Kropotkin and took importance later as Anarcho-Communist theory expanded on and developed pro-organizational and insurrectionary anti-organizational sections, such as those by Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Anarcho-Collectivist Mikhail Bakunin. Anarcho-Communism has actually had places in history, the best-known examples of which are the anarchist territories during the Spanish Revolution and the Free Territory during the Russian Revolution, where anarchists such as Nestor Makhno worked to create and defend anarcho-communism through the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army of Ukraine from 1919 before being conquered by the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Bolsheviks in 1921.

Spanish Civil War

Through the efforts and influence of the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Spanish anarchists during the Spanish Revolution within the Spanish Civil War starting in 1936, Anarcho-Communism existed in most of Aragon, parts of the Levante and Andalusia as well as in the stronghold of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Anarchists Catalonia before being crushed by the combined forces of the Francoist Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Nationalists (the regime that won the war), Nationalist allies such as Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Adolf Hitler and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Benito Mussolini and even Spanish Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Communist Party repression (backed by the Soviet Union) as well as economic and armaments blockades from the capitalist states and the Spanish Republic itself governed by the Republicans. However, some anarchists, such as the Friends of Durriti group, opposed the CNT-FAI for collaborating with the liberal government in the war.

Expansion

The Anarcho-Communist movement expanded much more heavily in the post-war era, with Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Anarchist movements popping up all over continental Europe, developing from anti-fascist resistance. The main movements were established both in Italy and France, where a sizeable following after the turmoil of the Second World War. In the post Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Fascist Italy, the Italian Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Anarchist Movement was formed right after the end of the war in 1945. It was based on "a Libertarian Party with anarchist theory and practice adapted to the new economic, political and social reality of post-war Italy, with an internationalist outlook and effective presence in the workplaces." On top of this, The International of Anarchist Federations (IAF/IFA) was founded during an international anarchist conference in Carrara in 1968 by the three existing European anarchist federations of France (Fédération Anarchiste), Italy (Federazione Anarchica Italiana) and Spain (Federación Anarquista Ibérica) as well as the Bulgarian federation in French exile.

Modern Day
