Anarchy in the context of anarchism doesn’t refer to a complete absence of rules or their enforcement. On the contrary, anarchism rejects any form of higher power (aka might), and focuses on building communities in a way that makes them resilient to it.
I’m not sure I really understand your argument though. Societies and communities were able to have rules preventing violence long before the existence of nation states. Not to mention that your definition of the state is ironic in and of itself: We need violence (the state) to prevent violence (by non-state actors). The state itself in this definition (which I agree with) is itself following the method might makes right.
