The concepts of Communism were unfortunately used as a device for many authoritarians to take control of state apparatus. But that doesn't mean it MUST fail universally.

If you look into the Anarchist revolution during the Spanish Civil War, you'll find a true, successful attempt at a non-authoritarian socialist society, it's a jewel of history, showcasing that humans really can work together and form a fair society.

Unfortunately, it was not allowed to flourish, eventually being destroyed by fascists backed by Hitler. However, their failure was not inevitable, just a lack of luck and bad timing. If they had the industrial means to create enough heavy weaponry, and if Hitler hadn't been in power to help their enemy with the might of Germany's industry, the Anarchists would've secured themselves a true nation state, and would likely have not fallen into an authoritarian hellscape that the Soviet revolution turned into.

I think communism takes more than just one bad actor depending on the implementation. Anarchy is a very emotional based government since you leave things up to how people feel they should be. Everyone has a different definition of that and some bigger things don't work without buy in of the entire community you are governing. Like gun control would never work well with anarchy.
