This is a common misconception. Anarchy doesn't stand for "without rules", it stands for "without ruler". The idea behind is to get rid of centralised, corruptible bottlenecks and decentralise decision and rule making. There are different models and theories on how that could work (The Machinery of Freedom gets quoted often) and zero interest from any politician to push for it; the appeal of getting into politics is having power - and a model where politicians should give away all of it is obviously not very popular with career politicians.

> The idea behind is to get rid of centralised, corruptible bottlenecks and decentralise decision and rule making. And how do you "decentralise" that? There's no decision making and rules without enforcement. So, in a "decentralised rule making" the one with the biggest muscles ends up making the rules. > the appeal of getting into politics is having power Yes. And so, in a "decentralised world" you will join the group with the most power. Until, well, you reinvent all the existing structures anyway.
