Ok but it didn't work.
I'm not saying anarchism as a political concept is doomed to failure based on history (though one could make an argument) but when looking to the past for inspiration toward the future, a few years of anarchist political experiment in Spain does not instill much confidence.

They fought tooth and nail for three years against a regime which was supported by Hitler and Mussolini. Clearly they should have used anarchist magic to defeat a regime that completely dominated the continent. For a more current example of an anarchist society working in practice, you could also check out [the Zapatista movement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zapatista_Army_of_National_Liberation), an anarchist society which today consists of at least 300,000 people.
