The only way I've ever seen anarchy in action is within the framework of a state, so I am necessarily ignorant of how it would actually look in the absence of a state. 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:

an·ar·chy
ˈanərkē/Submit
noun
noun: anarchy
1.
a state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority.
"he must ensure public order in a country threatened with anarchy"
synonyms: lawlessness, nihilism, mobocracy, revolution, insurrection, disorder, chaos, mayhem, tumult, turmoil More
antonyms: government, order

absence of government and absolute freedom of the individual, regarded as a political ideal.

it's always been a politically associated word
