Actually, anarchism and communism are nearly exactly the same thing in their ideal forms. Cooperative and collective living without governmental authority is essentially the goal of both.
Unfortunately, greed and the lust for power are inherent parts of certain segments of the human population.
There will always be people who want dominion and there will always be people who want more than they need. There will also always be people who won't contribute to the collective good.
These things can only work in isolated communities of like-minded people. on a large scale, they are impossible.
The strong dominate the weak, the clever dominate the strong. That's pretty much how it works, no matter how "sophisticated" we think we are becoming.
People suck.
