Post-left anarchy is not something new and different. It’s neither a political program nor an ideology. It’s not meant in any way to constitute some sort of faction or sect within the more general anarchist milieu. It’s in no way an opening to the political right; the right and left have always had much more in common with each other than either has in common with anarchism. And it’s certainly not intended as a new commodity in the already crowded marketplace of pseudo-radical ideas. It is simply intended as a restatement of the most fundamental and important anarchist positions within the context of a disintegrating international political left.

As such, since Anarcho-Communism has historically just been Anarchism, the ideas are perfectly compatible... In saying that, if they're identifying that way, they've probably holding up at least one of the terms on a pedestal.

It's like Ego-Coms, there's nothing inherently incompatible in essence. It's just that it's holding Communism up as something sacred.
