Types of government

Anarcho-communism is a socio-economic system that combines the basic tenants of Anarchism and Communism. Anarcho-communist theories advocate the destruction of the State, private property and capital, and assert that such systems should be replaced by Direct Democracy and common ownership by means of production.

Definition

Many advocates of the system assert that Anarcho-communism is the only true form of Communism because all Communists should be working to achieve a Stateless, classless society. Such theories also rely heavily on the idea that Humanity naturally operates collectively through cooperation rather than individually for the sake of self-preservation, arguing that the Human race can organise itself any way it wishes provided the right tools are given to it. Anarcho-communism is distinctly more liberal than Socialist thoughts such as Stalinism or Maoism which advocate the existence of the State ("dictatorship of the proletariat") in order to protect the People.

In micronationalism

At a micronational level, many Communist governments have been, either in theory or practice, Anarcho-Communist. An claimed example of such a system micronationally is the People's Republic of K-Marx, which is almost entirely Anarcho-Communist, the only hallmark of the State being the existence of a Chairman. However, the existence of the Chairman exhibits a common misconception among some micronationalists regarding the Anarchist Ideology, in that there must be no State at all for a micronation to be regarded as Anarchist.

An another anarchist micronation is Katarima, a web-based Romanian-Speaking micronation that fallows the ideas of kropotkin.

It has no organised state, no capitalism, or wages.

The nation has a committee of whom the people elect, and then the Committee elects the decisions of the nation.

All citizens have a job in the nation, as it is mandatory to keep the nation running.

The nation tries to exert as much liberty as possible, as to keep its citizens happy.


A Micronation called the Republic of Yesela uses the Anarcho-Communist system that is landlocked within Italy.

It does not use a free market because the nation's leadership believes that it is useless due to it leading to a very large economic gap between rich and poor but above all it always leads to inflation, so they use barter as a market system.

The legislature is called the People's Committee. The Committee has a maximum of 50 politicians directly voted by the people, and the Committee votes a "leader" and now is Leo, leader of Yesela.

All people work and what they produce they either barter or use for themselves.

The nation does not have a real "army" but rather have volunteer militias, of whose unique goal is protect Yesela from conflict with Italy.

Within the nation, the only "law enforcement" is the people who out of love for their nation work together to maintain justice and order.
