Anarchy is already working all around us and the people who say this simply have no imagination. They can't see past the walls that have been carefully constructed around them to keep them from straying from the lines drawn for them.

It's an intellectually lazy dismissal typically spouted off by people who mistake their own ignorance for wisdom. It falls apart under moderate scrutiny, doesn't actually address any problems that would arise under anarchy, and usually when people say a political system doesn't "work" they fail to take external factors into account: for example; any attempt at anarchy, communism, or socialism that is quashed by a more powerful capitalist state is typically dismissed as having fallen apart when they were actually foiled.

believing anything can work is just a phase
