    I don’t know if any of the three words “anarcho communist city” are any more than vague approximations when it comes to Çatalhöyük.

        “Proto-city settlement” is generally what it is referred to as by archaeologists.

        And it was as “anarcho communist” as pretty much all other human societies at the time. That was just the state of humanity as a whole at the time as far as we know. Hunter/gatherer groups, small farming settlements, and the occasional larger farming settlement like this one. Hierarchies of power hadn’t become a thing yet.
