I may come back later for a more elaborate post, but I would like to make one point right now

Anarchy as a society is an illusion. A society without government is like a human without a body; it's just simply nonsensical.

Practically, anarchy is a transition phase from one form of governance to another. An example would be the few day period after the Iraq invasion ended yet before the US took any action to govern or moderate power. In those couple days the entire nation (except for the oil fields) was looted and ransacked (think: eviscerated museums and libraries). But even this was not definitive anarchy because there was still governance (US military), they were just ordered to do absolutely nothing other than protect themselves and their equipment.

Chronic anarchistic trends do exist throughout the world, and a nation like Somalia is probably the best example of that. Pretty sure that's not a place any of us would want to be.

Besides all that, the problem with the anarchistic ideology is that it cannot work. Only in a Utopia is it possible (but not reality). Attempting to apply anarchy to our world is one of the best ways to create dictatorial regimes. This is because reality is that in an absence of hierarchal power, hierarchal power WILL arise. In an anarchy, there is nothing to stop those with the resources or with the inclination to acquire resources, to rise to the top and create their own governance.

Libertarian anarchists make the mistake of not factoring in human behavior. There will always be government. ALWAYS. The question is what kind of government. Do you want a government that benefits the people to greater degrees or a government than benefits the special individual? History and human society has emphatically shown that strong public sector does the former, while weak public sector does the latter. Anarchy is an abysmally weak public sector

I'm sorry to say, but Libertarianism is a joke. Libertarians want to weaken the public sector so much that when the guy with the biggest guns and most resources knocks on your door, there's nobody to stop him from controlling you, yet somehow they don't realize this. I understand that though because it took me quite a bit of time and research to figure my way out of the Libertarian fallacy. Libertarianism, unbeknownst to its constituency unfortunately, strives to exchange Democracy for Oligarchy/Monarchy/Totalitarianism.
