Just to throw a couple of things into the discussion.
Anarchy almost requires the population to be sane. Fifteen percent is manic, of that 15 percent 3% is psychotic and on the other end of the scale 15 percent is depressive and three percent pretty much carrots.
Anarchy may be an option, if the 60 percent, can figure out a way to deal with the 30%. Or it all reverts to the law of the jungle.
Many things, that were decried as the flaws of communism, are now accepted facts of life, in our so called democratic society. Both spouses work and the state is responsible for the raising and rearing of our children (how many hours a day do you actually spend with your children?). Somebody decided that a liberal approach to child rearing was the proper approach and produced a whole generation of children, with murky borders, on what is acceptable behavior. And then passed a whole bunch of laws to try and control them.
To site an example, Germany is one of the most law abidding countries in the world (maybe behind Japan) or it used to be. The older Germans look at an illegal act and say "you can´t do that because it´s against the law". The youngsters have figuered out, it´s only against the law, if you get caught and/or I am the law. Law is really an abstract thing, like money. If people choose to ignore it, it really doesn´t mean much. The difference between a system that actually works and the system derived by the person with the best arguement, are the choices, logical functional processes or political processes (or in other words fact and fiction). Theoretic democracy says a concensous by the first hundred names in the phone book, is probably the right solution to most any problem. Todays democracy is controlled by a political body, that has little or nothing in common with democracy. You usually have few actual choices. I´ve rarley seen "non of the above" offered as a posiblilty in a ballot.
I raised one child my wifes way, the only consequence to misbehavior was a long talk and maybe a scolding. I raised the next two, my way, made the rules clear (there were actually few) and kicked there butt when they were broken. Raised them to put there "will" on hold and there mind in gear and to do the right thing, whenever possible. Guess which children turned out the best. The oldest one, finally came around, but it was really painfull.
In my oppinion, the police spend way to much time, with petty stuff and way to little, on the larger social problems. The politicians spend way to much time with party politics and way to little, on actual solutions to regional problems. A politicians solution is to throw money at the problem, a policemans solution is to make as much money as possible off of the petty stuff.
For every time a politician has actually helped me (which were pretty darned few) I´ve paid a rather large percentage of my income for decades. Ditto with the police.
As a sidebar, a very few people, actually produce anything and they are usually too busy to be political. The rest are pretty much ticks, on the ass of society and have way too much control.
