The current status quo is the guy with the bigger stick making the rules. You're asking how that would be different under an anarchistic society? Anarchy works best with small to medium groups of like minded individuals. The idea is that nobody in your village has authority over anyone else, and that you've struck a social contract to help each other out with each other's individual skills ie. the guy who's really good at baking bakes bread for the village, the person who's really good at building tables builds tables for the village etc. Of course, if a violent antisocial person wanted to, they could threaten that balance, hence why it's a good idea for anarchistic societies to of course still protect themselves.
Sounds like a great place :)
Is this distinct from commune ism
