I think you can get a good idea of the philosophy behind post modern anarchism from Ursula K LeGuin's-The Dispossessed and The Left Hand of Darkness.

Back in the 1970's I was thinking of doing a PhD with the title "The concept of justice in anarchist political theory" then I read The Dispossessed and realised anything I was going to write would not come close to what she achieved. So she saved 3 years of my life.

I want to add another great work of fiction portraying ararchic ways of life is A Country of Ghosts by Margaret Killjoy. Oh and Walkaway by Cory Doctorow.

Socialism isnt anarchism. In neither is anarchy as a system really explored.

Anarcho socialism is a thing.

There are quite a few articles on the finer points of this if you want to read up on it.
