I'm interested to be able to differentiate them in terms of theorists/theories/timelines, assuming this makes sense.
I'm not 100% clear that anti-state communism is actually its own thing, so feel free to enlighten me.
Thanks

Autonomist Marxism and anti-state communism are both left-wing political ideologies that are critical of capitalism and the state. However, there are some key differences between the two.
Autonomist Marxism is a tradition within Marxism that emphasizes the autonomy and self-organization of the working class. Autonomists believe that workers can develop their own collective power and create a new society through their own collective action, rather than relying on the state or political parties to bring about change.
Anti-state communism, on the other hand, is a tradition within communism that rejects the idea of the state altogether. Anti-state communists believe that the state is inherently oppressive and that true communism can only be achieved by completely dismantling the state and replacing it with a decentralized, egalitarian system.
In general, autonomist Marxism is more focused on the agency and power of the working class, while anti-state communism is more focused on the abolition of the state. Both traditions are critical of capitalism and seek to create a more egalitarian and just society.
