Just how though? How does this get agreed upon without some threat of violence or top down hierarchy.

Consensus. And those who don't agree are free to separate and do their own thing based on their own consensus.

If you can't get the consensus/consent of the people your ideas will impact, you have no right to execute on those ideas.

Cooperatives do that. Hippie communities did it to some degree. Elected politicians swearing on representing the people who voted for them, in principle, should do the same thing.

And you know what would be great? If the truly anarchist communities where this actually happened were left to their own devices instead of being interfered by big bad countries who are afraid of "communism"
