"If we accept the definition of communism as a ‘stateless classless moneyless society where the workers own the means of production’ and anarchism as the ‘abolition of hierarchy’"
In what reality has that ever been the reality of communism
What that smoothbrain doesn't realize is communism is impossible and has been since we started assigning value to different items for trade. What they also see has anarchy is really chaos. Anarchy has order and hierarchy to it. If it was as violent and lawless as portrayed, different types of animals would be fighting all the time and we know that isn't the case and you can't get anymore classless, stateless than packs/herds/whatever of dolphins, wolves, lions, geese and everything else.
I KANT REED.
Butt we all GOWNA DIE
If we accept the definition of communism as a ‘stateless classless moneyless society where the workers own the means of production’ and anarchism as the ‘abolition of hierarchy’ then surely all anarchists would be communists
Well that's a pretty big IF isn't it? You could define communism as a green unicorn from space, doesn't mean anyone else cares.
The reality of communism, what you get every time you put communists in charge, is totalitarianism and starvation. That IS communism.
That said, in practice most anarchists are really communists trying to look less retarded. But not all.
The quote is wrong.
The definition of communism means that all communists are anarchist.
But it does not even imply that all anarchists are communists.
Anarchism is defined in such a way that it does not preclude the existence of anything but hierarchy.
It can have anything that isn't a hierarchy, such as emergent relationships that are voluntary and mutually perceived of as being beneficial, such as exchange of goods and labor, and it can have money to make the establishment of such relationships easier.
Furthermore, defining something out of a category doesnt define the other things In thst category out of existence, it merely shuffles them into a space where they fall under a new or existing label, and I know that once that label becomes more popular, you will try to weasel your concept back under the same roof as the one you kicked out to once again sponge off of its popularity.
At this point I'm bl anarch, but that's because I'm completely disenfranchised with modern (((governments)))
