As OP said: you have a wrong understanding what anarchism means. No big deal, it's a very misunderstood ideology. But since you're the kind of person who likes to write a few paragraphs on how a religious meme is wrong: You might be interested in what anarchism stands for. You'll find it's quite compatible with Jesus's teachings

He asks us to obey the laws, whether they're Godly or otherwise

He said to give the emperor what's his and god what's his. Clearly he meant giving up the colonizer's monetary system and live in harmony with your brothers and sisters, which is honoring god.

Other things Christ would love for you to do this Christmas (or any day of the year). Pass out food to homeless people, better yet, get to know one and invite them over for a meal in a warm home with good company and social support. Regardless of your views, support a kid who's a member from the LGBTQ+ community who might be rejected by their parents.

That's literally what anarchists mean by mutual aid.

Thanks for the link, seems like an interesting read. Anarchism is severely misrepresented by the media, I knew it wasn't exactly the Purge but I always imagined it as such. Do you have any interesting fiction books in mind that represent anarchism well? Something along the lines of 1984 and that type of book.

You're in luck! "The Disposessed" by Ursula K LeGuin is an amazing book and exactly what you're looking for.
