Anarcho-communist? Contradictory. Communally owned by definition is not anarchic. Communal anything requires management and therefore a politburo with chairman = hierarchy. Hippie communes do not work.
Goldman and Berkman were the two most prominent anarcho-communists of late 19th and early 20th century America. (That is, they thought the state should be abolished but believed in communal ownership of the means of production.) Individualist libertarians may not agree with their economic views, nor their early interest in revolutionary violence.

Even a single pair - male/female anarcho-communist marriage doesn't work much of the time with bitter acrimonious property-grabbing divorce.

Such ideas were fashionable but the USSR, Mao, Khmer Rouge, Albania, North Korea, Bulgaria, East Germany and all the others were catastrophic horrors. Even now, socialism with welfare free-loading from each according to their 1% status and to each according to their needs, is taking many countries down the gurgler. It has been tried before, many times. Every time, it ends in worse horrors than it tried to solve.

Virtuous Victorian Values are the only way to go. They are like gravity = a law of nature for success. The four forces of the apocalypse define existence. VVV define the abstract laws which enable human success.
