A list of successful and failed anarchist revolutions. Revolutions are efforts to institute a new political system along libertarian socialist lines.
Note, none of these were successful and none of them actually built socialism let alone communism. Even "successful" revolutions like those with the Zapatistas ultimately ended in failure after a few decades. Marxism-Leninism, not radical liberalism, is the only path for the international proletariat.
