If Anarchists are anti-top down organization, how did they organize chains of commands in emergency situations in their society? Did every decision have to be subject to a group meeting?

Isn't it just more rational to have the most experienced people at the top making the calls and organizing responses to things like battles, fires etc?

What did they do in Catalonia?

it's possible in anarchism to have chains of command, as long as it's based on free association. From what we've seen in Spain or in Ukraine (or with the modern day left libertarians of Mexico and Syrian Kurdistan), commanders still exist and are able to excersize some level of command. The critical thing is that every component of the military section (from squad up) have a running dialogue. Still, of course, it is always possible for any single member or united group to challenge whatever orders they get.

No one is actually an anarchist, they just support anarchism in order to wipe the slate clean so they can setup their ideal government.

Law and order is not absent in anarchy. It's just privately funded and volontary.

Epic post, I genuinely did not expect to see anarchism be so thoroughly debunked ITT.

Isn't any attempt to create a stateless society by force doomed? Any organised state with a military can curb stomp militias who are ideologically opposed to authority and hierarchy.

>free association

But how does that work? Doesn't that mean that soldiers can basically say "fuck this, I'm out"? You can't win a war like that.

Maybe we should set up some sort of institution to ensure that nobody is forced to comply to somebody's rules involuntarily.
You know, to make sure this whole anarchy thing works.

then you clearly don't understand anarchism, or at least not the more advanced understanding of it. You're just reading it's disambiguation and judging out of you're own perspective and rationale. So wrong you are.

all that is already happening now? HAH idiot....

That wasn't Orwell's experience. He lead a small detachment of 10 men and when he chastised one of them for not doing his duty they others jumped on him for fascist behaviour. Organisation is not effective without clear order of command
