    Doesn’t it mean a society without a hierarchical government?

    That could result in chaos, like Syria in 2014. It could also result in a cooperative community, as demonstrated in many tribes. Wouldn’t it depend on how well we could all get along?

      Anarchy is not just the lack of hierarchical government. It’s one of its prerequisites, sure, but not the only one.

        What are the other defining characteristics? I’ve always been under the impression that it’s defined by lawlessness.

        Edit: Why downvote without responding? I’m not being critical. I’m genuinely asking a question.
