Hope for what?

An act is only futile relative to a goal or a structure of meaning. It depends what your goals are.

If your goal is world peace and global anarchy, then that goal is so unrealistic and vacuous as to be meaningless, and the associated hope is probably getting in the way of your life being lived fully.

If your goal is to live beautifully with others in a shared project of living anarchy, then that is available to you. In that case you don't particularly need hope, you just need to do your best so there's nothing to regret.

Yes, for me hoping is setting oneself up for disappointment!
