Reply to comment by ziq in How anarcho-communism would create authority by ziq
So it isn't that that the ideals of anarcho-communism (a society without a state or currency that thrives from mutual aid) would lead to some sort of authority, it's that because ancoms and anarcho-communist theory presume that the harm that industry causes can be lessened or, in the cases of the most naive, eliminated entirely and that civilization isn't a hierarchical construct? Do you believe that if it weren't for those two (admittedly major) factors, that an anarcho-communist society would "work"? Or would a form of authority arise from that?

sure but it wouldn't be anarcho-communism since it wouldn't have anything to do with factories or controlling the means of production.

Alright. So I can assume that your definition of Communism inherently involves industrialization and that it can't be separated from industry? If so, then I think I understand your argument against anarcho-communism better; if not, feel free to correct me.

It's not my definition, anarcho-communism is a specific ideology that's been clearly defined by 2 centuries of theorists.

Alright. I'll read up on this. Thanks for your time, ziq.
