 Many don’t understand the term anarchy. Most see it as equivalent to chaos. And chaos cheerleaders are often authoritarians using chaos as a springboard to dictatorship. 

Anarchy means no rulers, not no rules. It’s an ideal. It doesn’t exist, it’s a goal to move towards.

 I wonder what this would look like in real life. Even prison life has subculture with rules. 

I only see anarchy working on an individual level given humans are social creatures. Is there any real life reference?

I can only think of the internet and Nostr is the closest for me. Even mainstream BTC is KYC now.
