I completely agree with anarchy on paper but severely doubt it can be applied practically. Is there a name/school of thought for this? Anything I could read to gain some perspective on this?

Agorism is a good example of anarchist thoughts put in practice daily in everyday life.
Even if it does not work and we do not end up in anarchy it is an end in itself: by practicing agorism you help diminishing State power

I guess this is a better way to say what I meant. Basically I like anarchy for myself ans think it xan work in small societies but think it would fail if it was actively aattempted on a large scale

This sounds interesting though thanks anon

Check serge latouche, he doesn't talk about anarchy but you might be interested in his stuff as he writes about diminishing industry in favor of self sufficient farming.

also this is pretty much the right idea you're having, just establish a small community with likeminded individuals. the point is having people see it and realize their 9-5 job is not the only way to survive. XIX century philosophers had other goals in mind other than practicality when they theorized about anarchy, though do read some of their stuff if you're interested.
Also go to anarchist sites. The people there share a lot of interesting stuff among writings, books, essays, projects, other websites and whatnot.

You can literally claim that any idea, or concept ... cannot be applied to reality but in reality there's always a way to put theories into practice democracy for example
here's some useful resources
-Critique of the Marxist Theory of the State by BAKUNIN
-Anarchism: From Theory to Practice by Daniel Guerin
A little bit of history won't hurt
-The Spanish civil war anarchism in action by Eddie Conlon

yeah, there's like tons of people who used to say that democracy or welfare couldn't be implementer or would make civilization end or some other shit. it doesn't matter though, everyone will get this response 9 times out of 10 when talking about anarchy. I'd rather know him trying to work something out for himself than abandoning the idea completely.

Check out Guy Debord, he was highly critical of the theoretical/political side of anarchism, partially because of what you wrote.
