Looks like it has. I quote the Random House Unabridged, 2nd Edition,
copyright 1993, 1987:
an.ar.chy ([pronunciation omitted for ASCII reasons]), n.
1. a state of society without government or law.
2. political and social disorder due to the absense of
governmental control: The death of the king was followed by a
year of anarchy.
3. a theory that regards the absence of all direct of coercive
government as a political ideal and that proposes the
cooperative and voluntary association of individuals and
groups as the principal mode of organized society.
4. confusion; chaos; disorder: Intellectual and moral anarchy
followed his loss of faith.
[1530-40; ( < MF anarchie or ML anarchia) < Gk, anarchia
lawlessness, lit. lack of a leader, equiv. to anarch(os)
leaderless (a- AN-[1] + arch(os) leader + os adj suffix) +
-ia -y[3]]
So either you were unaware of definition 3, or you're looking
for an argument. You might also be thinking that cooperation
somehow requires government...
In other news, here's my eug-lug code. I haven't seen anybody
else brave enough to post theirs yet...
