I'm more well read on the anarchist side of things so I will contribute with that.

Malatesta's At The Cafe and Anarchy are together the best introduction to anarchist thought and there are responses to common misconceptions and critiques.

Kropotkin's The Conquest of Bread is basically the same and it destroys the "muh human nature" and provides practical answers and kind of a blueprint for communism - although likely obsolete today. His essays are also very good.

An Anarchist FAQ is a glorified cheat sheet and that's why it's good.

If all else fails, read the spooky book(and Stirner's Critics too because you're a sperg) and laugh at every single argument they throw at you for the rest of your life.

You can't enforce anarchist communism, or even Marxian communism without a state. You have to be retarded if you think you can enforce consumption, property, and exchange limits without coercion.

I’ve checked the first three of these and they are wrong. Assuming you don’t consider News Corp/Fox is owned by Rupert Murdoch (which is dumb but anyway) the CEO is Robert Thomson, Time Warner is owned by AT&T whose CEO is John T. Stankey, the Sony one is kinda correct if you consider Sony America (the CEO of Sony worldwide is Japanese) but then again if we are sub-dividing divisions of Sony to make this table then you actually want the CEO of Sony entertainment which is Tony Vinciquerra who has an Italian surname. I didn’t bother going on after this so maybe the last two are right. But even if they were the image is still full of shit.

If leftists knew any economics, they would be multi-millionaires by now.
However, it's the neoliberal capitalists who are multi-millionaires.
Have you ever considered the possibility that maybe they are the ones who actually know how the world works?
Why would you pay attention to some loser who claims to have solved economics but didn't even manage to make big money out of it?
It's like taking writing advice from a bad author. You don't want advice from Paulo Coelho, you want advice from Aristotle and T.S. Eliot.

The state is inevitable. It is the ultimate form of human social organization. It was an inevitability the moment the first primates with higher mental capacity and complex social structures evolved. Everything in the history of human social organization demonstrates this, from the transition from hunter-gatherer bands to tribes to villages to cities. Whatever your gay LARP of an ideology says be damned, wherever you see complex political organization there are the seeds of the state. And you will get the state, regardless of whatever moronic euphemism you make up to let you get off to your moronic LARPing in perpetuity. In order to impose your LARP on the rest of humanity and even just to make sure you can actually run your gay commune, you will discover that you will need to impose a monopoly of legitimate force. And thus, you will created a state. You can call it whatever stupid shit you want, but the fact remains it is a state and the fact remains you are a gay LARPer who just wants to coom in your CHAZ or whatever stupid thing you pawns of Capital are up to these days.

>>17734248
>The USSR was never communist and arguably never socialist. It was just capitalism but they killed rich people that weren't of benefit to the state.
Irrelevant because true communism (as presented as the end state of historical development by Marx) is a fetishistic fantasy LARPing as millenarianism. 'True" communism will never be real, outside of eusocial insects and potentially bathyergid rodents (the Damaraland blesmol and naked mole-rat to be specific).

braindead take. it's so fucking easy to establish a fascist state that the US government could do it right now if they wanted to, but with communism, it's a much more complex ideology with more actual academic literature behind it. Communism has never truly been established because every time a socialist transitionary state as been established, it has had imperialist, capitalist states breathing down their neck to the point where they end up collapsing from all the pressure.

Ight then,time to shit on Communism
Let's start with some literature,Industrial Society and It's Future by Ted K is a great introduction,after reading more of Ted K's works you can read The Technological Society by Jacques Ellul.

Even at the time Ellul wrote his text,he noted that Technique had already become independent of the machine,for Technique had transcended the limits of (economic) production to encompass all activities.
Blaming Capitalism is therefore not at all sufficient,since the Machine encompasses far more than capitalism does.
Technique causes everything to have to be considered in terms of the Machine.
Progress is far broader than Capitalism because even its supposed antithesis Communism still fits within this same expectation that the only ''truth'' about human society is the technical operation to make it function more efficiently as a giant social machine.
In a perverse re-deffinition of the term,growth was once instinctive but is now rational (economic growth,technical progress,social progress etc..)
Both Capitalism and Communism accept this re-deffinition and only disagree over which method will yield a better result from a strictly technical level.

Communism will,like any technophile ideology,create a nightmare/end the human race,since anarchism requires a post-scarcity world to even stand a chance,and post-scarcity requires immense technological progress,anarchism is unachievable.
And yes,this applies to many right wing ideologies aswell,but not all.
The imagined technological utopia will in reality be a nightmare where humans are reduced to cogs.
Please also consider that I am not an anarcho-primitivist,nor a supremacist(I have to specify this on 4chinks).
