Problem is there is no actual evidence of this in history regarding anarch-communists. It's a complete unknown--there hasn't been any anarcho-communist society in place, especially not in modern times.
Regarding the Bangladeshi example, I'd say they're still better off than the peasant class under, say, Stalin's rule or Mao's great leap forward.
What a thrilling confirmation of the benefits of capitalism. Talk about damning with faint praise. "You're not dead or in the gulag, so...woo! go Capitalism!" Even so, you've brought something interesting up: things were bad enough for peasants under the capitalist system in China that they supported Mao and communism.
My point, after all, isn't "Communism is better for the bottom class"--my point is "capitalism is often so bad for the bottom class that they embrace communism."
In other words, people who don't get to own any stuff, will give up their mythological ability to "own stuff" for what they see as a chance at equality or improvement. And capitalism, so far, is great at creating a lot of people who don't get to own stuff. That kind of nullifies your flippant "people will never embrace communism because they like to own stuff" statement.
