What is the place of anarchists?

I'm thinking about the climate change coming down the pike but the question applies to anarchist work in general. What is the place for anarchists? Who don't have a plan for everyone else, who don't want to direct people, except direct them to take power back for themselves, and follow whatever people's heart and mind converge on. To be agitators? Writers and actors? Showing by example a more human way, but not forcing any view on anyone?

The changes in society (pushed by changes in climate) are going to come about whether people like it or not. The post-industrial world, where people have to get back to simple is going to come whether people are prepared or not, whether the economy transitions smoothly or crashes. I guess anarchists are looking for the smooth transition. If it crashes, the government, or rather the powerful might take it as an excuse to install martial law and enforce their rule by the gun even more savagely than now-post apocalypse type stuff.
