Anarchy–noun
1. a state of society without government or law.
2. political and social disorder due to the absence of governmental control: The death of the king was followed by a year of anarchy.
3. a theory that regards the absence of all direct or coercive government as a political ideal and that proposes the cooperative and voluntary association of individuals and groups as the principal mode of organized society.
4. confusion; chaos; disorder.
Definition three doesn't sound that bad to me. Why should someone I don't know and will never meet decide what's in my best interest?
Ooh! And just look at definition number four!
Humans, being human, will ALWAYS fuck up that kind of model. Personally, the only way I can see it working at all is in a more primativist society than we have just now.
You do like your computers and your electric guitars and all that shit don't you?
And, as is usual in these kind of definitions, they kinda fuck up by mixing up "chaos" and "disorder". That's NO definition that I would use to describe any of my beliefs.
You are correct in your assertion that human beings will always fuck up the anarchistic model, although you fell short by not including any other form of government in with your statement. Democracy, Capitalism, Socialism, Communism; all fall short of their projected expectations when the human factor is involved. At this point (obviously) there is no government model that could go unaffected by human factors such as greed and corruption. All of life is a catch 22. What's a guy to do?
Also, me pointing out definition number four was more for the irony and lulz than anything else.
I'm not an anarchist, anyway. I just have a general distaste for the way things are now, so until things change I'm doing every thing I can to remain outside any system.
