There are no laws though, in either instance. You need a state to enforce any type of laws AFAIK. Perhaps communism and anarchy are more defined by empty space where power structures once stood then the ones that spring up naturally without a state acting as a parent (or more like a Leviathan with a monopoly on violence)

Thanks for commenting, no sarcasm.

Thanks for commenting too; it is nice to have discussions like this.

I guess my point is that the rules of an anarchist society come about from need, whereas the rules for a communist society seem planned (with some regional specifics). I agree that law comes from the state.

And I like the idea about the two form being more defined by previously stood power structures, and the examples of more liberated groups/societies of which I'm thinking off the top of my head now, all came from eroded powers (Republic of Venice, for example). Nice to contemplate.
