This is why I say anarchy is a state of mind. It's a principle more than anything, that can guide how you make decisions and how you see the world. I know a lot of people might disagree with me, and that's their right, and a lot of those people will have valid points, but that's the way I see it. To me, anarchy has to do with autonomy, agency, and respect.
I am however a realist, and I do know that I need to jump through hoops to get through the world. I drive a car. I get pulled over. I'm polite through mental gritted teeth to pigs, because I know if I'm not they're gonna find the roach in my ashtray.
None of this has to do with politics. It's how I see and interact with the world.

why the gritted teeth? they got a job to do like anyone else. do you agree with the principles of the tea party? they're very much akin to what you've said. also this:
