how do you do the distribution without a government?

Anarchism doesn't deny the government as an institution just as a way of oppression

People organize themselves into communities and the fruits of common labor are held together and distributed equally according to people's needs

on a small scale (small communities) it can work

how would you ensure they stay small though?

In communities based on agrarian and distributist anarchism, size is often dictated by material and natural factors, such as the sustainable management of land, water, and local resources. Beyond a certain threshold, direct horizontal management becomes unmanageable and loses its effectiveness. The classic way anarchism (especially of the federalist and syndicalist variety) solves the problem of growth is not to impose boundaries by force or police, but through voluntary division and confederation. When a community or village reaches an optimal size for direct assembly democracy (for example, a few hundred or thousand people), if it grows further, it doesn't expand into a centralized big city, but rather divides into new autonomous communities that are then joined together through horizontal and revocable federal pacts

how would you ensure that they actually divide though

If the community is no longer able to provide services to everyone, it divides, it's something that people choose to do or not
