Brazil has an enormous institutional government both at the national level and via the various local mayoralties. Totally nuts to claim the second largest armed force in the Americas is "no government or legal institutions". FFS, they did a soft coup with Operation Carwash that amounted to a defacto military dictatorship, until Bolsonaro basically shat himself out of office.
What system did Brazilian anarchists destroy?
The closest you could claim was Bolsonaro's devolution of authority to corporate-aligned lackeys in the major metro areas. But then you're in the position of claiming Kleptocracy and Corporationism are the same thing as No Government.
And you're still left explaining how Lula's been gradually clawing all that power back up to the top or where his sweeping economic reforms are coming from.
