So a Communist, a socialist, and a capitalist christian are asked who they would be if they could live as anyone from the New Testament.

They think for a bit, then the communist answers "I believe I would be Jesus, because he distributed his sermons equally to all people."

The socialist says "I would also be Jesus, as he took the power from the corrupt temple officials and gave it to the masses."

The capitalist thinks a bit more, then replies "I'd be the cross-maker."

EXCUSE ME BUT PURE ANARCHY WOULD ACTUALLY BE THE SAME AS PURE COMMUNISM.
Anarchy is Communism without the government.

Get it right, foo.
that was my point...

the example used for "Pure Communism" could be used for the example of "Pure Anarchy" and be correct.

It could. But the word Anarchy is vague. We could be talking Bakunin style anarchy, or Thunderdome style.

But the problem here again is what ideal?
Communism is communism is communism. It's fairly well defined. Anarchy just means "lack of government." Different people have different ideals on what should take the place of government, but they all qualify as "Anarchy."

an ideal anarchy would be one where people are getting along. an ideal anarchy would be one where, all forms of [peaceful] anarchy would be capable of coexisting peacefully, as well as [peaceful] governments as well

I know what you meant by it, I'm just saying that "Pure Anarchy" doesn't necessarily mean what you said in the above quote. It could, but then it also could not.

Pure Anarchy, in the ideal sense, is spontaneous order.
