I still wonder how that works together, anarchy has no rules (everbody does what is right in their own eyes) and socialism requires extensive state power over the individuals. I know academic anarchists who praise the free market instead (AnCaps) which seems a bit more coherent. Is there any real life example of an An-Co state?

Anarchy doesn't mean no rules, it means no hierarchy or unjustified authority, with relations being handled in a horizontal, bottom-top manner. Socialism also does not require state power over individuals. There are no example of an anarcho-communist state, because it is by definition stateless. However, there were anarchist movements in Spain and Ukraine before they were overrun by Franco's army and the Soviet Union, respectively.

Socialism would require intervention to redistribute wealth, no? And who is to intervene, if not someone that is collectively decided upon (which makes it a democratic government.)
