I beg to differ.
According to my dictionary, the #1 definition of anarchy is the complete absence of government, which is what you said. However, the #2 definition is "political disorder and violence; lawlessness".
It is that last word you need to remember.
You can choose that, of course. One reason I don't use the word.
But tell me... what is "the law?" The natural law involves only those things which are wrong, evil in and of themselves. Assault, murder, rape, theft, fraud. Political "disorder" doesn't happen in a voluntary society - unless a bunch of criminals attempt to take it over by force or fraud. Violence also occurs when some people violate the natural law in ANY society. It's called self defense.
And "government" does not at all need to be involuntary to promote obedience to that natural law. Visit the average grocery store, any private business to see law abiding people going about their business in peace and voluntary association.
Voluntary association is "government" by another name. But tell me how well those who WANT to commit assault, murder, rape, etc. obey "laws" of any sort? And is not the INVOLUNTARY government you espouse guilty of all of them?
I'm not seeing your point.
