Which has nothing to do with a government.

But it has everything to do with "A "community" which makes "communal decisions"", whatever you call it.
I hope Merriam-Webster clears that up:
"Definition of government
1 : the body of persons that constitutes the governing authority of a political unit or organization"

I specifically said that "community" which makes "communal decisions" is not anarchy. You've simply claimed it does, then mentioned "governing authority", which is not entirely in line, now is it?

You're right on the strength of my argument, but you're wrong on anarchy not being able to create governments (in the M-W definition above). But I'm not going to argue this any more.
