Anarchism is a complex web of horizontal structures, not the absence of structure.
None of which exist currently and won't be planned until after the overthrow of the system has resulted in another power grab and we end up in the same situation with a different hierarchy.
Stonks.
Seriously though, anarchy and whatever it means to you is purely theoretical in nature. "Anarchy is insert thing that's never existed and OP can't even explain in detail" is a useless statement, all you're saying is it's not what we have now and somehow it won't have any kind of vertical elevation of humans above one another.
We can all create fantasy utopias in our heads and claim they are or aren't whatever we want.
You can explain it, though. All I added was that it's not just an absence of structure, if you want to learn more there's lots of writings.
Nothing will ever change until this civilization collapses.
