==============
Anarchism was once described as a "beast with a broad back." These days you can find everyone from Commies, to Primitivists, to Collectivists, to right wing Anarchists that use the term to describe themselves. For example,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism
In the United States there's also the Libertarian Party that is a right wing "anarchistic" organization that proposes a platform of laissez-faire capitalism and absolutist civil liberties. Historically, until the founding of this political party in the 1970s, the word Libertarian referred to and in most of the world still does refer ideas and groups from the Libertarian Left.
Anarchists often obsess about Voting and group decision making mechanisms that range from consensus, to 2/3 majority, to straight majority, etc.

the cartoon above that mentions Somalia is a pretty good description of the misconception many high school kids & others have about the word & ideas of anarchy in the United States, quite often because they don't read so good or so much.
i've seen right wing anti-statists discuss Somalia and the lack of government there: http://www.somalianarchy.com/
as far as the libertarian left, i haven't heard any serious person talk of Somalia as an example of anarchism or anarchy in practice in any sort of constructive or meaningful way. if you're interested in examples of anarchism in practice, you can check out:
Sam Dolgof's
"The Anarchist Collectives: Workers Self-Management in the Spanish Revolution, 1936-1939"
Daniel Guerin's "Anarchism: From Theory To Practice".
as far as anarchist economics, anarchists have pointed to the Israeli Kibbutz & the Spanish Mondragon cooperative systems as an example of how a constructive left anarchist economic system could function. theoretical developments at the moment include the new libertarian left proposal of Participatory Economics (Parecon)

Here's contemporary example of a Collectivist Anarchist style economic project, done by ordinary restaurant workers in New York City who lost their jobs because of 9-11-01. These folks are not pushing any specific idealogical label, they are simply getting stuff done. They are very much concerned with the same ideals as the Spanish Anarchist Labor Movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries:
