Well I suppose that would depend on what your standpoint on anarchism is. This question depends on my philosophy on human beings as a whole. I think that humans left to their own devices are inherently selfish. This view on human behavior dictates me to think that left alone in an anarchist system, there would be chaos and generally things would not turn out well.

Humans do well in structured societies, it has been like this since as long as anyone can remember. Without some sort of inherent structure we would just all end up killing each other over trivial things. Of course not the more intelligent members of our society, but think of us as a whole. Many many people are not as smart as we think they are, and without structure I'm afraid of what we might become.
