I don't think you're engaging in good faith here, not sure why. For what it's worth, in your example, the negotiation of rules with the goal of consensus finding and avoidance of unjust exertion of power plays a major role in anarchist practices. Anomic states of existence and anarchic ones are far apart. The former leads to kings and conquest, the latter to tedious discussions about minutiae of daily existence.

There are reasons why anarchist groups are hard to infiltrate by cops

Anarchism is full of rules and laws, though. Arguably, one aspect of anarchism is replacing rulers with rules as far as possible, but that's possibly a contentious phrasing.

You might wanna read up slightly on this, you're quite far away from the consensus meaning of anarchism. While superficial, you could start with the first three paragraphs of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism

That's not anarchism you're describing, maybe you're thinking of "anarcho"capitalism?
