Editing Anarcho-Communism (section)

==History==
===Creation===
Although [[File:Proto-Anarchism.png]] 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 [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|socialist]] currents after the [[File:Jack.png]] [[Jacobinism|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 [[File:Acol.png]] [[Anarcho-Collectivism|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 [[File:Platformism.png]] [[Platformism|Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army of Ukraine]] from 1919 before being conquered by the [[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|Bolsheviks]] in 1921.

===Spanish Civil War===
Through the efforts and influence of the [[File:AnSynd.png]] [[Anarcho-Syndicalism|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 [[File:AnSynd.png]] [[Anarcho-Syndicalism|Anarchists Catalonia]] before being crushed by the combined forces of the Francoist [[File:Fash.png]] [[Fascism|Nationalists]] (the regime that won the war), Nationalist allies such as [[File:Nazi.png]] [[Nazism|Adolf Hitler]] and [[File:Fash.png]] [[Fascism|Benito Mussolini]] and even Spanish [[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|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 [[File:Awaj.png]] [[Anarchism|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 [[File:Fash.png]] [[Fascism|Fascist]] Italy, the Italian [[File:Awaj.png]] [[Anarchism|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===
In contemporary times, Libertarian Communism was a [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|Socialist]] journal founded in 1974 and produced in part by members of the [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|Socialist]] Party of Great Britain. The synthesist Italian [[File:Awaj.png]] [[Anarchism|Anarchist]] Federation and the [[File:Platformism.png]] [[Platformism|Platformist]] Federation of Anarchist Communists continue existing today in Italy but [[File:Insarch.png]] [[Insurrectionary Anarchism]] continues to be relevant as the recent establishment of the Informal Anarchist Federation shows.
