It's a cute idea that will never work in practice.
Anarchism is the dissolution of all structures of power and hierarchy. No government, no bosses, no one can hold power over another human being.

Why not?
I just wrote a comment on my own thoughts, and essentially, I think anarchism "works" until a sufficiently willful person shows up. There's a reason the majority of human beings have existed under states of some kind, anarchist societies failed to prevent states from arising.
The very presence of authoritarian personality in any random subset of human populations is why we can’t have nice things.
