It's mildly ironic how many anarchists refuse to have any ties to communism or are adamant about how anarcho-communism doesn't exist, as if this decades old name was just invented for fun. But then what are they? Anarcho-capitalists? Anarcho-primitivists? If you ask those people they will respond with no, not at all, we just want a classless, moneyless, stateless society without authority or possessions...I wonder where I heard that from.
TL;DR: Anarchists who refuse to call themselves anarcho-communists (even though they are because there is no pure anarchism, but many branches) have no knowledge about political ideologies or even a basic understanding of the political compass and history.

A person born into capitalism, a system in which virtually all resources are privately owned, must receive permission from property owners in order to access those resources to survive.
Each person must therefore pay a property owner or labor directly for the property owner to survive. Each person is *coerced* into wage labor and market transactions by virtue of *systemic privatization.*
Any property owner could voluntarily allow the propertyless access to resources free of charge. But each owner is *also* obligated into market exchanges to acquire resources not found on their property to survive, coercing *them* into exploiting the propertyless to survive.
I have said it before: capitalism incentivizes psychopathic behavior. If people must engage in competitive profit seeking to survive, they are disciplined by the threat of market failure, immiseration, and starvation into horrific behavior *whether they want to or not.*
Capitalist ideologues will insist the absence of coercion in any given exchange exonerates the entire system. But I have never once been threatened by a cop over taxes, and yet I am still aware that I face imprisonment and violence if I fail to pay on time. The propertyless are well aware of the violence that will face them if they try to use property without permission—without payment, without laboring—even if they’ve never personally been evicted by a sheriff’s deputy.
Capitalist ideologues will insist on treating the system as nothing more than a sequence of discrete interactions with no connection to each other, because no one wants to think *they* would willingly participate in, and perpetuate, a system of exploitation and coercion.

People may claim that anti-capitalism and the push for a classless, non-divisive and non-exclusionary society and the like are unrealistic because they think we want to create a utopia that is free of all pain and suffering.
Such a painless utopia *is* impossible- But it’s also impossible to overstate how many things that are afflicting everyone in today’s society are completely created, fabricated, and controlled & dictated by humans in power (the 1% that controls it all) in a capitalist society
Debt, bills, exorbitant costs on literal-lifesaving health care (and prescriptions like insulin) credit scores, homelessness, joblessness, complete abuses of natural resources that we *need* to survive (abused for profit)- and even money itself are all just complete man-made concepts, controlled by a very minuscule yet overtly powerful rich and economic class. Are any of these “fair challenges” in life that are just here to stay forever and are ordained by nature itself? God no. It’s all something that can be ended and replaced with something better- even if the process and transition may be complicated & difficult, it’s worthwhile- no matter what capitalist propaganda the rich push out.
Pain and suffering will still exist even in a freer, post-capitalist, post-class, post-money world: Death will still loom over everyone, natural disasters and new diseases will test us in different ways, etc, challenges that are ACTUALLY ordained by nature. And *work* itself will still be needed to feed the population, build housing, and care for the sick- not in the capitalist way for profit with a boss spying you at all times, but for the betterment of community, no matter your background, race, gender, and the like.
But what’s important is that any challenges that are thrown our way are not the results of a power-hungry few that makes everyone else suffer because of their cancerous greed and have us all chained to a devil-economic system. We will still have the issues that face ALL life on earth, not just humans, but it is 100% possible to live a life of decency, amidst it all.
