Exactly. Without rules and enforcement, you just get a cesspit. Anarchy just doesn't work.
Perhaps more accurately, anarchy only works if everyone's objectives are similar or at least compatible.
Like it would be nice to live in a town where you don't need to lock your doors, but it only takes one asshole to make that untenable.
It only taking one asshole is why it doesn't work. You just never going to have no assholes. So you need a justice system, and a way of policing the policing of it.
