...despite my lack of support for anarchism (it's a (*)(*)(*)(*) good ideal, but I'm a firm pragmatist), there have been several times when anarchists got together with good results. The best example of this is during the Spanish Civil War, where anarchist societies numbering in the thousands existed peacefully, crime free, and effectively. I recommend George Orwell's book "Homage to Catalonia". However, that is the biggest problem with anarchism - everyone in an anarchist society has to actually be an anarchist.

Other good examples of Anarchists working together, and getting things done, or trying to but failing due to opposition from the government, are the Paris Commune, the Kronstadt Rebellion, and the popular uprising in France in May of 1968.
