I call this the "you and what army" problem: if you look around the room and you don't see the State, l'Etat, c'est vous. Council mutualism is not only practical, it's practiced, but it's practiced by Hutterites. Can it be done without Anabaptist convictions? I don't see any reason why not. Has it? Not with that level of success, no. The you and what army problem being obvious, inescapable, and inherent, political anarchism will, insofar as it plays a role at all, continue to be a way that people more inherently l'Etat c'est moi about it seize power, often jailing and killing the anarchist leaders (the anarcharchs, if you will) in the process.
