All of that is certainly true, but anarchism is also terminally incompatible with reality. With no government, there’s nothing stopping some goon from raising a private army, declaring himself emperor, and killing anyone who tries to argue. That’s how we ended up with governments in the first place.
A basic understanding of anarchism is that it’s a belief that government is unnecessary, harmful, and should be abolished.
I don’t know what you’re talking about, but it whatever it is, it clearly requires a non-basic understanding of anarchism, so why don’t you go ahead and educate me.
I’ve had some long conversations with anarchists. Seems to boil down to “everyone should just be nice to each other.” Let me know how that works out with people who don’t want to be nice.

You’re clearly not there yet.
Try reading up on what anarchism is actually about before you make such confidently incorrect assertions.
