The vast majority of humans are actually nice, altruistic and not selfish if you treat them with respect. And hence anarchism would not resolve in everyone killing each other.
Problem is you need more than the “vast majority” to be nice before you feel safe.
Absolutely correct. It would be the people who are in power now, building gangs and robbing the weak.
Anarchism is a schoolyard without teachers. Most kids are ok and will treat each other with respect.
But if you ever were molested in a dark corner of said schoolyard you know how important oversight is.
In an Anarchist world, it would be traumatized/autistic people like me running around with guns and shooting everyone who so much as touches another person on sight.
