I suppose that community militias could be quite capable of stamping out small/localized power grabs. It seems that handling broader challenges though, would require organization, oversight, and management of resources on a scale that would come remarkably close to resembling.... dare I say....government? Lol.

I can't imagine a nation of multiple anarchist communities fending off a significant foreign threat--at least not with a purist approach to anarchism.

Perhaps I'm just limited in my thinking on the matter though.

How does a community militia stamp out its own power grab?

Anything that can stamp out a power grab can grab power.

Why would you automatically assume that any and all power grabs would come from a militia, when presumably virtually everyone in society would be armed? 
Seems to me that militia members wouldn't be any more inclined to long for a reestablishment of strict governance than any other group of yahoos--perhaps even less likely. Actually, I would think that militia members would be more likely to value the core principles of anarchy and value "Muh freedom!" more than anyone else.
