Single best article I have read on the subject. because not only does it give examples of the government not being needed for something it gives real world examples of the anarchist solution working .

Expecting me to go read ten links is unrealistic. Even if I had that sort of time handy, devoting it only to your ten links is nonsense. If you cannot summarize your points intelligibly, why should anyone think that you actually understand what you're posting?
Regarding your link, it needs to be pointed out that the Spanish Revolution which he uses as an example didn't create a "new civilization". You may or may not know of the Caudillo, but he ruled for decades as a tyrant. Not quite anarchy, I'd say. This rather makes my point, that arguing by link doesn't demonstrate a grasp of the issue.

They say that, but then they describe -how- they would achieve x and it sounds like government to me. It's been suggested, in this thread, that "anarchists" would band together to organize their labor and their rights. That's government. Maybe what anarchists really want is many smaller governments of which they are a greater part?

All anachism does is to make government bureacracy completely stop working all together, make everyone a member of that seized up bureacracy, and remove all personal protection whatsoever for each member of that bureacracy against the vengeances of all other members of the of the same bureacracy, which so happen to be his unwilling and irate cliental.

Why is there an agreed symbol for anarchy? 
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I think there's room to work with there. "Every man is king of his own castle" should be more true, more often, in my opinion. I'm tired of people always asking questions about the bruises on my kids, or the blood-soaked rags that I leave in my trash, or about the various sexual fetishes that I'm diligently researching.

Where I come from, a man being the king of his own castle includes a lawful provision for shooting people dead from his truck. Privacy, property, custody, and harassment laws cover the other tidbits.
One wonders how, without some form of government...we'd keep people from spying on us, or harassing us through our children. I suppose we could shoot them - but without a castle law and a court to uphold our right to pewpew.......

First of all, let me be clear that I was being ironical.
That being said. . . I'd say that as soon as one person says, "I'm going to do X," and another person says, "Nope. I'm not gonna let you do X," we've established a very local form of government. I mean, all it takes is a couple kids sniffing around my doorstep after my teenage daughter, and I'm gonna start laying down laws right quick.
