Anarcho-Communism

- This article is featured. This article has everything the wiki has the best to offer.

Ancom, full name Anarcho-Communism, is an extreme libertarian socialist, extremely  culturally progressive, ideology inhabiting the bottom left corner of the political compass. He is commonly seen as a massive negro lover. He believes in the abolition of the state and all structures of capital, leading to a stateless,  classless, and post-monetary society based on a  Gift Economy and direct democracy. Some forms of Anarcho-Communism are heavily influenced by Egoism and radical individualism, thinking Anarcho-Communism to be the best social system for the realization of individual freedom. Many AnComs view Anarcho-Communism as a way of reconciling the gap between the individual and society.

Creation
Anarcho-Communism first arose and developed out of radical socialist currents after the French Revolution. The works of Russian political theorist and activist Peter Kropotkin took importance later as Anarcho-Communist theory expanded and developed pro-organizational and insurrectionary anti-organizational sections. 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 Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army of Ukraine from 1919 before being conquered by the Bolsheviks in 1921.

Spanish Civil War
Through the efforts and influence of the 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 anarchist Catalonia before being crushed by the combined forces of the Francoist Nationalists (the regime that won the war), Nationalist allies such as Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini and even Spanish 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.

Expansion
The Anarcho-Communist movement expanded much more heavily in the post-war era, with anarchist movements popping up all over continental Europe. 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 Fascist Italy, the Italian 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 socialist journal founded in 1974 and produced in part by members of the Socialist Party of Great Britain. The synthesist Italian Anarchist Federation and the platformist Federation of Anarchist Communists continue existing today in Italy but insurrectionary Anarchism continues to be relevant as the recent establishment of the Informal Anarchist Federation shows.

Personality and Behaviour
Ancom is a very emotional individual. He has an extreme passion for revolution and has a high amount of empathy with oppressed groups. However, this can also make him difficult to disagree with. He is very concerned with the abolition of the state as well as private property and goes ballistic whenever any other ideology questions his resolve. Although being ideologically similar in economic terms to Socialism and Marxism, he doesn't hesitate to vehemently criticize them for being statist.

Ancom is typically written as a rebellious teen who likes to take recreational drugs. He especially likes vandalism and destruction of private property.

Ancom, despite constantly critiquing Marxism & especially its descendants, will defend them when  Capitalism does the same.

Stylistic notes
Ancom is often very aggressive in conversation, often making loud screeching noises after hearing capitalist, reactionary, or authoritarian comments. Conservatism calls this "being triggered". He has screams at everyone else to read theory otherwise they're automatically bootlicking pigs. Later portrayals of him have shouting walls of text, especially when he is attempting to tell a joke which instead comes off as him whining and justifying his beliefs. Said walls of texts are usually random passages or incomprehensible gibberish found on the web to save time on comics. His favorite weapon is the Molotov cocktail and he has a tendency to use it a lot.

He's usually seen with a bat or hood. He also wants to be a cat, for some reason.

How to draw
Drawing Ancom is very simple:
 * 1) Draw a ball
 * 2) Draw a line in a lighter shade of black diagonally through the ball
 * 3) Fill the space below with the same color and the space above with Red.
 * 4) Add the eyes and you're done!
 * 5) (Optional) Add cat ears and a bandana with the anarchy symbol
