Anarchy doesn't mean no rules, it means no hierarchy or unjustified authority, with relations being handled in a horizontal, bottom-top manner. Socialism also does not require state power over individuals. There are no example of an anarcho-communist state, because it is by definition stateless. However, there were anarchist movements in Spain and Ukraine before they were overrun by Franco's army and the Soviet Union, respectively.

I don't think anarcho-communism could work on a state level because of the free-rider problem.  You need to have a very flattering view of human nature, work ethic and mutual interest to assume that a group that large could pull it off.

Perhaps it could work in small communities, where you could exclude those who choose not to contribute, to make it successful.  

It's not meant to work on the state level because there's not meant to be a state in the first place. Also, with automation growing, the idea would be to use technology to do a lot of work so that humans will have to do less. Another reason why many people don't work is because they have no say and no passion in what they do, if they did they'd probably be a lot more willing to work.
