We operate under conditions of anarchy every day. For instance, any time that you line up for something, you're functioning in an anarchic situation. There is, after all, no line police and no laws about lining up. Nevertheless, people tend to act in a predictable and orderly fashion when they line up,* and those who "disobey" the implicit rules, like cutting in line, are subject to social sanction.
People, in other words, don't descend into a Hobbesian state of nature when they're queuing up for a movie or standing in line at the women's room. Instead, they devise their own rules and enforce them using appropriate, non-legal methods. Anarchists simply believe that people will act like that when
all government rules are lifted. And that goes for anarchists from the left
and the right (anarchism is certainly not the exclusive preserve of the leftists).
