Perhaps I need to read some primers on anarchism. I have always encountered it primarily in terms of what it is not, but have yet to understand what fills that outline. This is probably in part the fault of articles like this, but the movement must share the fault too. Is there some time and place that one can point to where anarchism was clearly in action in a large population?

The major historical example is the Spanish Revolution of the 30s, and George Orwell's *Homage to Catalonia* is a fantastic account. Orwell is not afraid to criticize as well as praise.
