The Verdict
Use Anarchy if: You want it is relevant for designing resilient, censorship-resistant applications, such as in cryptography, peer-to-peer file sharing, or decentralized autonomous organizations (daos) and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Oligarchy if: You prioritize g over what Anarchy offers.
