That's not anarchy. Anarchy stops being anarchy the moment there is any cooperation whatsoever between individuals. Psychologists have gone a long way towards demonstrating experimentally that anarchy cannot exist in human populations. Even firmly controlled artificial anarchies where communication isn't permitted would invariably evolve into small pockets of cooperation and alliance.
What you're describing is communism.
(What the 1950s era Soviets did wasn't communism any more than what we do is democracy. "A rose by any other name...")
