To me anarchy works because rulers are not required in most if not all situations. Rules yes, rulers no. In our current situation the rulers are the parasite class and are hard to spot because they hide behind and steer the institutions we know and grew up with (and trust(ed)) and screwed us.

Humans are pretty capable of self organizing and have always done so in the past. No rulers required that need to feed off the productive and grow like a cancer... Because this has proven to always fail in the past taking all from everyone to start all over again...

To make a difference/change in a larger society I have two quotes motivating me that I can do this:

"It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams

"Never underestimate your own butterfly effect" - I probably ended up conflating two different quotes into this interesting one, but I like it.

If individuals continue to show things can be built from the ground up and the result is better than what we get supplied by rulers, others (with values) will become interested and want to learn and even become part of that new small ecosystem. I see this work around me after just a couple of years of effort.
Taking back responsibilities is hard work and freedom is not free. But all is very achievable if you care about freedom!

What works for me as a general rule what I expect from peoples behavior to live alongside each other is the narrowing down of the 10 commandments to the following: Do Not Steal.

And what can be stolen can refer to time, effort, body, land, etc.

Just don't take from me, and I will leave you be until you may need me.

Have a great day!
