Where do all the alpha males go? What happens to all the control freaks, narcissists and sociopaths? Anarchy looks like ‘Road Warrior’ to me. As a female, the idea of anarchy scares me to the bone.
Chaz was a ‘lord of the flies’ example. My dau lives in Cap Hill. She said she could hear people screaming at night. I was terrified for her. She stayed in her appt as much as possible and never went out at night.

That wasn't anarchy.
That was fascism. Authoritarianism and racism is fascism.
That's why the authoritarian party -- aka, the Democrats -- love BLM so much. They can push socialism under the guise of social justice to take as much power and control as they can.
Contrary to what they would have you believe, socialism ALWAYS leads to fascism. It can never lead to communism, because people will always want power, and they will commit genocide against any group they seem a theeat to keep it.
If you were a German in the 30s and 40s, chances are, you were a Nazi.
If fascism were to rise again, could you identify it? And if you could, would you oppose it?
When people don't know where their next meal is coming from, they'll latch onto anything they think will feed their kids.
Almost all the race riots in the US have stemmed from economic depression.

You missed my point to argue a different one.
Again, what happens to the alpha males, the sociopaths and the control freaks? What makes the authoritarians stop being authoritarian? What happens to the law of the jungle? Do they just go away and cease to exist?
Anarchists never explain this.

I didn't miss your point.
Anarchism allows for communities to spring up to help each other.
A farmer might have a field of corn, but that doesn't provide all he needs to survive. It only makes sense he would trade some of his crop for meat, or labor, or anything else he might need.
This includes protection. It only makes sense the people trading with each other would benefit from protecting their means of survival...
The point of anarchism is that each individual has the choice to live his or her life as they see fit without a government to dictate how that happens.
How does a government stop authoritarian "alpha males" (Nancy Pelosi?), as you call them, stop that? They get funneled into the military, law enforcement, and government. Then they take away your right to defend yourself or speak out against them, enforcing their ridiculous policies at gunpoint.
This includes protection. It only makes sense the people trading with each other would benefit from protecting their means of survival...

So Road Warrior scenarious, paid protection from roving gangs of baddies. Endless tribal conflict. Wait, dont tribes have some kind of governing structure?
That you give little information and just toss out simplistic repeats without answering any direct questions tells me you havent really thought this thru, but anarchy is hip and punk and all….

Start with Tuskegee Syphilis Study. Then see where that leads you. Then ask the question again.

And, to the point of the OP...
Do you trust a government which would subject its own citizens (regardless of the reason) to such mistreatment/terror?
I don't.

Tuskegee, Jim Crow, segregation in the military, discrimination by HUD, War on Drugs, the list goes on and on.
White Americans have never been targeted as a group by the U.S. government in the way that black Americans as a group have.

The crux of the thread is bolded (near the end of the OP) and should be fairly easy to understand.
