You need a group of people to enforce laws to defend you from murderers and thieves?
I've never need laws for self defense.
I don't need law enforcement for it either.

Ok, we're on the same page then.

Take the two contemporary examples: the Zapatista autonomous region and Rojava. They both are pretty heavily armed and enforce their social norms with community councils.
Not if you agree with this.
Pash OP wrote
The Zapatista community councils are randomly selected by lot from the community; I'm not sure about Rojava.

I'm an anarchist.
Why should the democratic methods of granting power from a territory that has explicitly stated that they are not anarchists sway me?

The key distinction is whether enforcement is done by a specialised class or mutually.

If a group of people explicitly state that they don't share the same values that I do, then I have no reason to care about how they organize themselves.

Doesn't matter in either case, enforcing laws and social norms makes you cop.
If you can't see the difference between enforcing laws/social norms and exercising self defense, then we have nothing to talk about.
