Anachronism, not anarchism.


* MedievalStasis: There is a race called the "Glitch" which has this as their MO. They are one of many built simulations of society, meant to show the organic path of growth in technology, that had a glitch which had stuck them in this trope instead of advancing as intended. While their bodies are mechanical, they are programed to be unaware that they are constructions, the only anarchism in their societies, and thus ignore it happily. There are a few who, through another glitch, become aware of the lies the otherwise functional other glitches live in, and are hunted.
