You don't engage in anarchism? At all, ever? So in your group of friends, you have clearly established hierarchy? Do you go on a date with the assumption that one of you is in charge? Have you never gotten together with a group and discussed what's best for you all, without one person being the leader?

Anarchism isn't a lack of rules, or the strong beating the weak, or every person for themselves. Anarchism is rejection of cohersive authority. Anarchism is a thousand little things you do every day with everyone around you. You've definitely participated in anarchism, whether you want to admit you have or not. And no amount of protestation is going to change that.
