So this anarchy is a self contained commune where nobody is allowed in that doesn’t agree with the rules. And if somebody breaks the rules, they must leave. This sums it up? It can’t apply to a country because that would never work. But to a small village, sure.

Also, hopefully the people outside the village don’t find ways of fucking with them (such as redirecting waterways that affect the downstream village).

Yes, my understanding is that Anarchists want to break down governments into smaller and smaller bits in order to allow for more and more direct democracy and cooperation.

This sounds interesting, and not at all what I would have thought of as anarchy. It definitely requires solidarity among its people.

I should say, that's not how all Anarchists view it, but as far as I identify as an anarchist, that's what Anarchism is.

I’ve definitely come to understand there’s a lot of brands of anarchism. I don’t think my initial opinion about anarchism has changed much, though, but I understand there is much more nuance to it.
