For the most part, yes there are even anarcho-communists. But at the same there is a big difference in the non-authoritarian view of the anarchists and some communists.
From what I have read, it seems communism is the journey and anarchism is basically the destination with a few institutions intact. I’d rather take that road and whatevwr fights that may bring than what I currently see as our future.
Edit: because I don’t believe the public on average, especially in the west, is ready for any kind of anarchism. They couldn’t handle it. It would be ruined by the same forces currently destroying the world order. We need to join with the communists to defeat it. Whatever consequences come of that are better tha nation state fiefdoms run by billionaire psycopaths and sycophants.

Yeah that is one way of seeing it, but I am from an ex socialist county and the idea of communism can also be easily abused and co-opted.
As long as there are power structures be it the market or the state. The people cannot be free.
And I also believe you cannot free other people they must free themselves. If you forcefully free someone you are just imposing new rules.
Right on
