I understand anarchy as anarchists want it. I also understand that society as we know it arose from that prehistoric anarchy you speak of. Because someone finally managed to consolidate enough resources to establish themselves as ruler. Which is what would happen if you took modern societies and put them in anarchy. We do not yet have the tools to keep each other in check, or else we would already HAVE peaceful anarchy. I think decentralized techs can do a lot to address that, but as it stands now, today, if we converted to anarchy without massively redistributing wealth, the richest among us would simply immediately entrench themselves as rulers.
