In answer to all the ohbuttherehasneverbeenanarchy arguments rhetorically asking for examples
The world IS anarchic. It's ok for our rulers to pilot a sovereign state through an anarchic world to the clear benefit of all but we are prohibitted that same freedom to control our own personal sovereignty in an anarchic country! There is no such thing as international law. Some voluntary agreements for mutual benefit. See nation states as armed individuals.
"Large arenas of economic activity in the world remain anarchic, or nearly so, to this day. For example, there is no supranational sovereign with the authority to create formal international laws to regulate countries or to enforce such laws if they existed.[5] Adding to international anarchy is the absence of state-made, supranational commercial law to enforce contracts between private international traders."
Really import point
" My examples from above are not intended to suggest that these particular institutional solutions are generalizable or somehow suggest how other societies without government would evolve. On the contrary, there is no “blueprint” for how anarchy would or does work.[18] This, in fact, is the whole point. Private institutional responses reflect the specific problems, times, places, and other conditions that give rise to them. In a different time and a different place with different people, even the same problem situation may be met differently under anarchy.
