How is an ideal anarchy different from an ideal communist society?

There appear to be several differences. In Anarchism, there is no rule or government or a ruler. Every one is free to take their own decisions according to their wishes. On the other hand, in communism there is a government and also a ruler. No one is free to take their own decisions according to their own aspirations. When communism believes in common ownership, Anarchism believes in individual ownership. In communism the society is considered to be above the individual. However, in Anarchism, it is the individual who is considered to be having an upper hand over the society. While the communists believe in a society, which considers every one equal, the anarchists think the opposite. http://www.differencebetween.net/miscellaneous/difference-between-communism-and-anarchism/ Jul 07 11, 8:12 PM

However: 'According to The Oxford Companion to Philosophy, "there is no single defining position that all anarchists hold, and those considered anarchists at best share a certain family resemblance." ' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism So I wonder if an answer is possible. Jul 07 11, 9:29 PM
