I mean “anarchism” is an extremely broad label, to the point of almost being as meaningless as calling oneself a leftist or marxist. A lot of anarchists are pro-direct-democracy, which isn’t consensus based. A specific example is the “inclusive democracy” movement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusive_Democracy
We have to remember, these labels are all abstractions, they aren’t real concrete relations. They’re just ways that humans divide up and name the world for ease of use.
It is also a misunderstanding of what census decision making aims to achieve. You can argue that it wasn’t the right tool under the circumstances of the Occupy Wallstreet protests, but given that such protests are not a way to achieve meaningful changes in society anyways, one can argue that it at least inspired the participants to start thinking about other forms of organizing society.

Not all anarchists require consensus.
