The Anarchist Communist Federation had it's genesis in the Social Revolutionary Anarchist Federation gathering of 1977. There a group called the Anarchist Communist Tendency formed, which in 1978 would change its name to the Anarchist Communist Federation (ACF).

The ACF was made up of many affinity groups across the country like the Libertarian Workers Group in New York City and Bread and Roses in San Francisco. The ACF structure was based on the ideas of Peter Kropotkin and emphasized local autonomy accompanied by federal unity. The ACF published a newspaper, the North American Anarchist.

By 1981, arguments within the ACF over various issues led to the Libertarian Workers Group leaving, followed by every other affinity group outside the American Midwest (except for one in Regina, Saskatchewan). The ACF dissolved within a year.
