Anarchists did not do any of these things for the fairly obvious reason that there is no example of a human society existing in a state of anarchy more than momentarily.

Not true:

• Anarchy – Never Been Tried?
• Anarchy – Never Been Tried? Part II: Emerald Anarchy
• Anarchy – Never Been Tried? Part III: Fire and Ice
• Anarchy – Never Been Tried? Part IV: In The Beginning
• Anarchy – Never Been Tried? Part V: Anarchy in the U.S.A.???
• Anarchy – Never Been Tried? Part VI: The Living Anti-Nation
• Introducing the Tarahumara
• Stateless Societies: Ancient Ireland
• Government Can Be Prevented! Repelling States: Evidence from Upland Southeast Asia
• Ireland's Success with the Free Market and Anarchism
• The Decline and Fall of Private Law in Iceland
• Privatization, Viking Style: Model or Misfortune?

Looked at several of the links. These aren’t examples of anarchic societies, they’re examples of clan-based rather than state societies.

The two things are very different.

The author’s penchant seems to be for classifying any society without a formal legal system as anarchy. I very much doubt those who lived in these societies would have agreed.
