**Anarcho-Communism** (sometimes called **Anarchist Communism**,
**Libertarian Communism**, **Free Communism**, '''Communist-Anarchism
'''or **Stateless Communism**) is an [anarchist school of
thought](Anarchism "wikilink") which advocates for the complete
abolition of the [market economy](Market_Economy "wikilink"),
[money](money "wikilink") and [trade](trade "wikilink") to be replaced
by a [confederation](confederation "wikilink") of [community
assemblies](Democratic_Assembly "wikilink"), [worker
controlled-industry](Workers'_Self-Management "wikilink"), a [gift
economy](Gift_Economy "wikilink") and [horizontal economic
planning](Horizontal_Economic_Planning "wikilink").

## Example Societies

society. Hunter-gatherer groups, ancient civilizations, solidarity
economies, [intentional communities](Intentional_Community "wikilink")
and [open-source](Open_Source "wikilink") software.
