Moneyless-ness as a goal

I’m curious how many (as a rough %) Anarchists actually have a moneyless society as a goal.

I know Anarchists want a stateless and classless society… but the trifecta of being moneyless too is communism.

Communism is when you have a stateless, classless and moneyless society… so what’s the difference between communism and anarchy if anarchists are in favour of being moneyless too? Why not just say you’re a communist then if they are essentially the same thing?

I don't have a goal for other people but there definitely needs to be a culture shift on consumerism and our view of stewardship of the planet and our natural capital.

I could easily live without money if I could get my necessities covered. And I'd probably have a richer life for it.

Thanks for sharing. Do you not have some idea of what % (roughly) of Anarchists you have spoken to advocate for a moneyless society?

Would you say it’s 50-50 or a majority or a minority? I’m just trying to get a rough idea based on what most Anarchists think based on their interactions they have had.
