I look forward to reading this. From the title, it sounds like you’ve pinpointed my primary objection to the philosophy. It’s an attractive philosophy and in many ways “right”, but to retrofit an existing society with an anarchic system would run into issues of human greed/entrenched power where people would too easily take advantage of the system at the expense of others. But to implement anarchy while keeping the “bad” people in check would likely involve some form of violence/restraint, and violate the principle of pacifism that anarchy requires in order to work.
Curious to see what you wrote, and if it aligns with this. Be back once I read it (this afternoon, gotta run for a bit)
