A moneyless 'gift economy' is both plausible and just.
Disagree
Agree
(There’s nothing inherently just or unjust about using money. A barter system without a medium of exchange is not impossible, but highly difficult and problematic. Most would find it inplausible.)

Non-violence is a cruical aspect of anarchism
Disagree

God is the only legitimate source of authority.

'Collective' or 'Communist' modes of anarchism will innevitably lead to tyrany of the majority.
Anarcho-capitalism is perhaps more closely linked the libertarian tradition than anarchism as it favours a free market and a stateless society. Private businesses would replace the functions of the state. This form of anarchism is largely an American phenomenon and first emerged in the 1950s (although it arguably has its roots in 19th century individualist anarchism and classical liberalism). Key thinkers include Murray Rothbard.
