What exactly is the deal with communism?
Im young, and just started to read real theory some weeks ago, but for what I have learned, both communism and anarquism seem to have the same if not similar goals in the short term. And, after reading principles of communism by Engels, he says that they shall
"come to an understanding with these democratic socialists"
meaning by democratic socialist:
" proletarians who are not yet sufficiently clear about the conditions of the liberation"
Definition that I though would apply to an anarquist comming from a communist point of view. But then I started joining some communitys, one of them being the reddit of Antimonymemes, they were presenting a meme talking about how "based" were the communist revolutionarys for killing those who opposed them such as nazis, libertarians and anarquists. In the comments I made a simple one that I would like to recall
-Killing the anarquists is kinda, Engels himself told us not to become enemies with similar idealogys
That was it. And some minutes later I was banned. The reason was for being a "capitalism apologist" The moderation send a Buch of lennin and other sources quotes that I read, and while they were talking about the differences between both. Those seemed to be more in the roots than anything. I also learned about the conflict between Makhno's revolution and the volcheviks. So this whole thing made me think 2 things. That some people should not be reddit mods, and that there must be some intense dilema that keeps anarquism and communism so away of each other. I don't think any other idealogy can search for something so similar while deeply hating others that also do (but im not that well informed so I'm probably wrong)
