"Rules without rulers" , same thing as laws without rulers. Don't need a ruler for there to be laws. Even family's have their own laws and the punishment for breaking them may be decided amongst the family or by the "leader" of the family. Anarchy is impossible because someone ultimately will make decisions on behave of others, hence not true anarchy. And ultimately people will give someone else power to provide things for them that they can't provide for themselves.
"Abolition of government is local" yet every state is also in a form of anarchy. Then you're just deciding on who gets to make the rules and its not actually anarchy.
There are rulers, from the family to the state, there always will be. And people will always rely on more than just local communities for things, because we dont live in the caveman days.
