Anarchists of various tendencies make and abide by rules, but it's a consensual process. At least, it's supposed to be: in my experience there is more domestic violence and rape in leftist and anarchist spaces than is the norm throughout society. The worst and most toxic people, however, tend to be Trots and Maoists-- this doesn't mean they have a monopoly on that by any means, but there seems to me to be something in certain authcom ideologies that attracts abusive people. Again, this is just my anecdotal experience, although it meshes well with the experience of others I spoken to about this.
