Anarchism is a multi-contextual stand in for opposition to hierarchical authority. When all forms of hierarchy have been abolished then anarchism will have become obsolete, but not before then.

"By popular government they [the Authoritarian Socialists] mean government of the people by a small number of representatives elected by the people. . . [That is,] government of the vast majority of the people by a privileged minority. But this minority, the Marxists say, will consist of workers. Yes, perhaps, of former workers, who, as soon as they become rulers or representatives of the people will cease to be workers and will begin to look upon the whole workers' world from the heights of the state. They will no longer represent the people but themselves and their own pretensions to govern the people." - Mikhail Bakunin
