The most important thing about both of those terms to understand is that niether of them is a religion. They are both political systems.

------------------------------------------------------

Anarchism

is a political philosophy or group of doctrines and attitudes centered on rejection of any form of compulsory government (cf. "state"[1]) and supporting its elimination.[2][3] The term "anarchism" is derived from the Greek αναρχία ("without archons" or "without rulers"). Thus "anarchism," in its most general meaning, is the belief that all forms of rulership (and thus also involuntary servitude) are undesirable and should be abolished.
There is a variety of types and traditions of anarchism with various points of difference.[4][5] However, the varieties are not particularly well characterized and not all of them are mutually exclusive.[6] Other than being opposed to the state, "there is no single defining position that all anarchists hold, and those considered anarchists at best share a certain family resemblance."[7] Preferred economic arrangements are one of the many areas of disagreement for anarchists.[8]

-----------------------------------------------------

Communism

is an ideology that seeks to establish a classless, stateless social organization, based upon common ownership of the means of production. It can be classified as a branch of the broader socialist movement. Early forms of human social organization have been described as 'primitive communism' by Marxists. However, communism as a political goal is generally a conjectured form of future social organization. There is a considerable variety of views among self-identified communists, including Maoism, Trotskyism, council communism, Luxemburgism, anarchist communism, Christian communism, and various currents of left communism, which are generally the more widespread varieties. However, various offshoots of the Soviet (what critics call the 'Stalinist') and Maoist interpretations of Marxism-Leninism comprise a particular branch of communism that has the distinction of having been the primary driving force for communism in world politics during most of the 20th century. The competing branch of Trotskyism has not had such a distinction.

I think from what I remember

Marxism, Wealth shared equally between all people, all people working their fair share to receive their fair share. This was to be achieved by the proletariat overthrowing the bourgeoisie and setting up a temporary dictatorship to ensure the new state was fair - that distribution was fair and that work was fair.

One of the reasons communism failed was it never got passed the temporary dictatorship - no one has ever set up a state based on Marxist principles.

Anarchy I only understand very basically - it is where nothing belongs to anyone, there is no such thing as property. If you built a house it would not be yours anyone could stay there and if you wanted you could move on and stay somewhere else.

On a personal note as a theory I love anarchy I think it would provide the perfect utopia, however I don not believe in a million years humans could cope with the concept and believe if anyone ever tried it would be doomed to failure, no human is so unself-serving for it to work. Shame but true.

Detailed information about anarchism? Huh? They're anarchists--it's not like they keep a record. That would be anti-anarchist. Archist? I don't know. I saw some German movie about anarchists--I think it had Franka Potente in it. But I'm not sure.

Communism--used to be N. Korea, China, Cuba, the Soviet Union and N. Vietnam (also a couple of eastern European countries, like, uh, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. Also East Germany. And Poland? Was it communist? Maybe.) Now, it's lost a lot of steam because leaders realized people dig capitalism, and many regimes have fallen and many lines have been redrawn and places renamed. It's the force behind the "Cold War", a war designed to suck money away from the US and get a bunch of people killed for no good reason besides the fact they had different economic ideas. I mean, I don't dig communism/socialism/ whatever, but I think those ideas would have died on their own without taking such extensive military action (and blowing all that money on Star Wars. I mean, the boring, expensive, non-theatrical Star Wars.)

Communism sounds good on paper. Well, maybe not good, but not completely terrible. But in practice, a bunch of people got killed and thrown in jail, the countries went broke and had a lot of trouble recovering, and it's been tough to deal with their totalitarian regimes.

Anarchism is the complete lack of a government. Communism is an economic policy in which the people of a state redistribute wealth equally. Communism does NOT involve a governmental body, so technically, a state can be both communist and anarchist.

at the same time as it should be very puzzling, i ought to ought to decide on Anarchism (Anarchy). that is with out doubt one among the least like numerous different 2, and that is what appeals to me about it. With Communism, you actually ought to address a authorities sturdy-arming you into agreeing with its beliefs about Socialism. So, it truly is a no flow. frequently Communist governments should be very sturdy and controlling, like China. Now Fascism is basically a similar element with out the Socialism. extremely, i ought to ought to address a unmarried political get jointly controlling precisely what I say, do, and picture. same issues as above. Anarchy, on the different hand, is something that i ought to face the finest probability with. less than Anarchy, no man or woman has administration over you. compared to what maximum individuals have self assurance, there ought to nonetheless be some those which have morals, so there should be people to strive against again antagonistic to the chaos. Bringing order again should be difficult, regardless of the indisputable fact that it should be finished. In a nutshell, Anarchy ought to probable be the finest of the above authorities possibilities to fix. it really is the reason that is sweet; not unavoidably that it really is the finest to stay in, regardless of the indisputable fact that the shown reality that it should be fastened in a way that should be a lot less stressful than taking on an finished authorities.

Communism and Socialism are often confused. Socialism refers to a broad array of doctrines or political movements that envisage a socio-economic system in which property and the distribution of wealth are subject to social control This control may be either direct—exercised through popular collectives such as workers' councils—or indirect—exercised on behalf of the people by the state.

Anarchism is a political philosophy or group of doctrines and attitudes centered on rejection of any form of compulsory government, and supporting its elimination.

In detail? That's WAAAAAY to broad a question. For a start both Communism and Anarchism have multiple sub-theories.

Wikipedia is your best starting point, and answer here is likely to be too simple to be anything other than misleading.

Communism is the great "everybody is equal, but some are more equal than others". i.e. it's a method of sharing work and property out evenly, but requires an enforcing body that are in a position of power over everyone else.

Anarchism is a system with no formal rules or body of authority

I can say that communism as written by Karl Max has never been tested. He was saying that if the political organisation was not doing what it was intended to do, this organisation should be killed.

This has never been true because Lenine and Stalline have both used the communist organisation for their own power and to have a revenge against life.

The result equals about 50 000 000 deaths.

Anarchists is an utopia, it has been allready tried and failled.
