Anarcho-communism
Anarcho-communism, also known as communist anarchist or libertarian communism, is an anarchist sub-ideology which seeks to create a communistic society in the immediate aftermath of a socialist revolution, using institutions such as a gift economy. One of the most popular proponents of anarchist communism was Peter Kropotkin, who formalized many aspects of this tendency in his book The Conquest of Bread. Anarcho-communism broadly emphasizes communalism and localized economic distribution.
Anarcho-communism, much like with anarchism as a whole, has seen very little success in application. Examples of experiments which followed anarcho-communism include the Free Territory in what is now modern Ukraine and Revolutionary Catalonia, both of which achieved very little success in attaining their ideal society and fell within a few years, in part due to their counter-revolutionary nature.[1][2]
