Anarchy is a beautiful dream. But it's unworkable, except in small,
self-selected groups. Basically, there are too many sociopaths. Maybe
about 10%-20%. Some are just mean, dishonest and violent. But for the
most part, they mind their own business. So they're not problematic. We
can live with occasional serial killers ;)

But the others, they seek wealth, power, and control. They become the
mafia, the feudal overlords, the government, the corporates. So unless
and until they are excluded or eliminated, anarchy is unworkable.
