(9,137 posts)are a very very bad idea, given what human potentials they are based on and strengthen.
Anthropological study has found that great majority of human cultures - so called "primitive" societies are anarchic, egalitarian societies. The exceptions to the norm are agrarian societies that developed complex power hierarchies and class systems. We call them "civilizations".
Classical Western Anarchism, like Marxism, is based on the idea and ethics of liberation from class society. Difference is that Marxists believe that the route to classless anarchy-communism goes through working class taking over the state apparatus, anarchists say that that will lead to becoming corrupted by the power. Historical examples of Soviet Union etc. support the anarchist warnings.
If you consider families, groups of friends and horizontal decentralized networks as "chaos" instead of natural bottom-up and holistic social organization, I don't know what to say.
