Anarchy IS a form of government, despite the dictionary's definition. The (proven) theory of Anarchy would take power from the sovereigns, politicians or aristocrats by means of a coup d'etat (Unless you're an Anarcho-Pacifist, though I'm not sure how that works, or an Anarcho-Individualist which has nothing to do with government really, it's just a personal way of ilving, free of government oppression) and after the people have seized power, they'd set up communities, which would interact amongst each other but would be mostly autonomous. The citizens of each community would have a town hall type meeting to discuss issues and then if the issue wasn't resolved, they'd select delegates (different delegates every time so no one has too much power) and they'd meet with surrounding communities. It's actually a very interesting and effective form of government.

Anarchists do not believe in governments. They consider them as evils to society. Anarchist Charles Guiteau assassinated US President William McKinley.

Anarchists do not believe in governments. They are seen as evil. This is a radical political concept and why no anarchists have ever been elected in a modern society, or in any society.

What are Anarchists?

Anarchists hold different views as to the economic and legal organisation of society; some favour collectivist anarchism, anarcho-syndicalism or participatory economics while others support market systems like mutualism, agorism, or anarcho-capitalism. Others, such as anarcho-communists and post left anarchists prefer no solid form of organization. According to The Oxford Companion to Philosophy, "there is no single defining position that all anarchists hold, beyond their rejection of compulsory government, and those considered anarchists at best share a certain family resemblance". Anarchist schools of thought differ fundamentally, supporting anything from extreme individualism to complete collectivism. Some anarchists have opposed coercion, while others have supported it, particularly in the form of violent revolution on the path to anarchy or utopia.
