Are there any documents in which Marx addresses communitarianism? If not, in what ways does communistarianism relate to Marxist ideas? How do they agree? Disagree?

Do you mean communitarianism as the ideological/moral philosophy? If that's the case than he talks about it in pretty much every political work he wrote.

Although, if you're talking about the political ideology called "communitarianism", I don't think he every wrote anything about it specifically, but he may have criticized it under the umbrella of "conservative socialism".

I was not aware that there was a difference. Are there any specific readings that focus strictly on communitarianism or at least have an emphasis on it?

From wiki:

Quote:
Though the term communitarianism is of 20th-century origin, it is derived from the 1840s term communitarian, which was coined by Goodwyn Barmby to refer to one who was a member or advocate of a communalist society.

So given that Barmby was an utopian socialist, you can refer to any marx's write about utopian soc or the engels booklet from "antiduring" "Socialism: Utopian and Scientific.".
