Anarchist communism[1] (also known as anarcho-communism, free communism, libertarian communism,[2][3][4][5][6] and communist anarchism[7][8]) is a theory of anarchism which advocates the abolition of the state, capitalism, wage labour, and private property (while retaining respect for personal property),[9] and in favour of common ownership of the means of production,[10][11] direct democracy, and a horizontal network of voluntary associations and workers' councils that will produce based on the guiding principle: "From each according to his ability, to each accordin to his need".[12][13]
