I have noticed that largely most anarchists online are from the first world and that anarchism is very popular than communism in western countries, i.e. its become overtly a first world white people ideology.

While marxism leninism is popular in the third world, with large marxist leninist parties and non existing anarchist forces. What do you think about this?

Sudan, Chile, Syria, Chiapas, Indonesia

One thing common among most of these examples is that right wing forces carried mass genocide of communists in these countries.

That's technically correct. However, you seem to imply that repression against « communists » is not repression against « anarchists ». It definitely is. One could argue there's repression against anarchists without repression against communists (though i would say that's wrong because many of the deported/executed « leftists » under Lenin were not anarchists) but i've never heard a single make the opposite argument.
