Some amount of government helps to some degree, otherwise government and anarchy should be indistinguishable, which is obviously not the case.

What we have now, wherever you are in the world, is, in my approximation, merely a slightly more evolved version of anarchy.

We are only three missed meals away from the marauders coming for your dog.

Don't confuse anarchy with barbarism. Anarchy gives you the linux kernel while barbarism is being sacrificed to your neighbours gods when it doesn't rain in a long time.
