Anarcho-Pragmatists?

More writing stuff: The settlement where most of the action takes place was originally founded on anarchist principles, but after a while they noticed that one or two particular individuals seemed to talk the most sense, so after a while everyone expected them to know what to do whenever there was a problem. At some point they decided that if this did not constitute a mandate from the people then they didn't know what else did, and so the town acquired a mayor and a Justice of the Peace.

Not everyone was happy about this, but at least it meant things got done.
