Anarchy is a political structure where there’s basically no one in charge, right? But wouldn’t that just create a power vacuum that would filled by organized crime, corporations, etc.? Then, after that power vacuum is filled, we’re right back at square one, and someone is in charge.

Are there any political theorists that have come up with a solution to this problem?

    Widespread nuke technology - the great equalizer.

    Joking of course, we’d annihilate ourselves immediately.

    I think humanity would need a very different set of priorities to make anarchy work. We’d need to value human life for starters. Maybe after experiencing collective ego death following a worldwide calamity or something.
