Something like it is currently functioning at a scale larger than some states in several places in the world. Its sorta how the group that kicked ISIS in the dick while turkey tried to exterminate them (and has so far failed) organizes.
Anarchist Rojava is still going strong - they held out against ISIS and Turkiye, and intermittent pressure from Assadist forces until the Syrian Civil War ended. We’ll see how it shakes out going forward, but they did a damn fine job in a chaotic time, and no matter how it ends, that will always be inspiring.
I hope the new Syrian government regards it simply as not worth the trouble of attempting to dismantle them - at the moment, things are tense, but both sides have formally committed to a peaceful co-existence in the new Syria.
The zapatistas (who’ve been going for 30+years, to the great and freauently violent displeasure of the mexican government) and AANES (who have done pretty well militarily) come to mind, there are others but they’re either under more pressure or smaller.
“The kind that only works on a small scale.”

Examples? I want to see how they’re doing.
