Just so you’re aware, you aren’t the first or smartest person to think of issues with Anarchism. There are far smarter and well read Anarchists, than anyone here, who think it’s still the right idea. No one will agree on every specific, but that’s true for everything.
I could argue every system of governance is doomed to fail. Literally none of them are perfect, and none ever will be. That’s why there are so many different versions of capitalist democratic republics. Every single time there are issues, and people come up with different solutions to those issues. The real problem comes when you refuse to engage and see any pros or cons of a system. There’s always something to learn.
You’re more ignorant than any Anarchist if you write it off entirely, just because you have a poor idea of what it means. Hint: big A Anarchism is different than little a anarchism. It doesn’t mean a lack of government. It’s an attempt to remove hierarchy, where possible, because hierarchies are where most of the issues with society come from.
It doesn’t mean a lack of government. It’s an attempt to remove hierarchy, where possible,
That’s one of the most ludicrous sentences I’ve ever read.
To govern is necessarily and explicitly hierarchical, since the entire idea is that the choices an individual might make are in some way constrained. And the only possible way that they can be constrained is if it’s first stipulated that some entity has a greater say over what they may, may not, must or must not be than the person themself has.
But hey - the broad history of attempts to encourage thinking that will lead to universal freedom from the nominally rightful imposition of the wills of some upon others is in large part a history of abandoning labels as they’re each in turn captured by those who won’t stand for or can’t even envision a world in which they can’t see their preferences imposed on those who don’t share them.

Seriously WTF?
