I'm a socialist, particularly an anarcho-communist in terms of my beliefs. I'd go more in depth, but I'm at school right now, so I may later.

These seem to be opposite on the spectrum, how can they fit together?

They are not on the opposite end of the spectrum. Anarchism originated as a left-wing ideology, and most anarchists are socialists. Communism is an ideology that uses a socialist economic model, while having a classless, stateless society. I use the term anarcho-communist instead of jsut anarchist or communist is because later on the former label got taken over by anarcho-capitalists and the latter by Stalinists and Maoists.
