waht if an anarchist group attained political power, would they by principle have to dissolve their own government?


First, let's see what we're dealing with here.

Anarchist
1 : one who rebels against any authority, established order, or ruling power
2 : one who believes in, advocates, or promotes anarchism or anarchy; especially : one who uses violent means to overthrow the established order

Anarchism
1 : a political theory holding all forms of governmental authority to be unnecessary and undesirable and advocating a society based on voluntary cooperation and free association of individuals and groups
2 : the advocacy or practice of anarchistic principles

This leads to the following conclusions:
Anarchists believe in volundary cooperation and free association of individuals and groups.
This means that anarchists have no problem forming groups, even large ones, as long as it is based on voluntary cooperation.

Anarchists rebel against any authority, established order, or ruling power.
This means that an anarchist government would have to be either not anarchist or not a government.

In summary:
Yes, an anarchist group that attained political power would dissolve the government. The group itself would not likely dissolve, but it would not govern. Alternatively, the group would govern, but would stop being anarchist.
