There are many ways to use anarchy in a sentence. In Greek, "anarchy" means "no rulers" or "no chieftans." It does NOT mean "no laws."

In English, however, anarchy has more than one meaning, and some of the definitions seem contradictory: 1) absence of government; 2) a state of lawlessness or political disorder due to the absence of governmental authority; 3) a utopian society of individuals who enjoy complete freedom without government

Under definition 3:

This would be my favorite sentence: "Anarchy means voluntary cooperation instead of forced participation."

Under definition 2:

Another example would be: When the government was overthrown, the country fell into a state of anarchy.

Most people think of anarchy as defined in the second example; political scientists may have a more nuanced understanding of the concept.
