Why people would, relating to each other based on principles i've already explained. usually consensus is used, otherwise voting.

But then it's no longer anarchy, because rules have been established. Self-governing is still governing.

So its a contradiction if in order to make it so that no-one governs me, I govern myself?

But your doubts and questions are bringing you to the cusp of some important reveleations -- that anarchy is best understood as a tendency, not a program or platform. and that regarding things as absolutes will lead us ultimately into useless loops such as "total freedom = tyranny" and "no government == dictatorship", so we should rather be interested in the incremental changes that can be made in society. Like are we better in a society that can chase a 15 year old girl out of school for her opinions or not?
