The thing about Anarchy is that most people think of it as "chaos" and colloquially use the term to mean as much. But Anarchy in its "application" means that there isn't a government institution present in a given society. All tribal societies are anarchic in their structure and function perfectly well.

Anarchy doesn't necessarily mean no protection. Before government's came into existence, people weren't without order and completely helpless.

I'm just trying to introduce an alternative viewpoint here. Being an anarchist doesn't mean you want chaos. Maybe freedom and order aren't as far apart from each other as we think...

Anarchy, I would just have to get more guns to protect me and my family.

I think that it would be easier to follow the rules than try to protect yourself from everybody else.

This is a difficult scenario.

Anarchy is completely short-term and doesn't last very long.

Under anarchy over time groups will be established and power will again form. People will fight with one another over power until there is one group that is more dominant than the rest. This group is the government.

Dictatorships would be long-term but when overcome will be difficult to re-establish.

Under an unfair and unjust dictatorship the people will eventually rebel and they will try and create an order or system as far from and as impossible to return to their previous dictatorship.

However dictatorship can be good.
