the aggregate of people living together in a more or less ordered community.

You aren’t anarchistic if you’re organized, that’s kind of the point.

That is simply not true. Anarchism opposes institutionalized hierarchies of command and control. There are anti-organisational cnrrents in anarchy but the vast majority of anarchists don’t oppose organization. Also, thereshave been too many anarchist organisations in history to count.

  • The CNT/FAI in 1930s Cathalonia
  • Anarchist Ukraine after the1918 revolution
  • The Zapatistas
  • Many pre-colonial native American tribes, e.g. The Wendat
  • Pretty much any immediate-return hunter gatherer people, e.g. the Hadza or the pygmy

Most of humanity cooperating is non-hierarchical. Any DnD group is non-hierarchical. There is a DM, but they can’t stop me from saying “fuck you, that doesn’t happen! My character kills Gandalf with their hypnotic tits!”

I don’t get your point.
