Taking that into consideration, it's even lamer.
There is nothing enlightened about anarchy. Nature itself is hierarchal. In operational practice, actual human anarchists are low rationality humans who live in the "now" and who have limited empathy.
Allow me to introduce you to Michael Malice. Your critique of Anarchism is uninformed, recycled fear of something you clearly do not understand. The majority of human interactions you will and have had in your life have been anarchistic in nature.
Allow me to introduce you to Edmund Burke, who predicted what would happen in the French Revolution and its rejection of authority long before the reign of terror.

Nature itself laughs at you.
Articulate concisely what Edmund Burke has to do with this topic. You do understand there's a difference between say dogs and humans? Or ants and idiots? Who told you to get dressed this morning? What is the name of the cop that follows you around making sure you don't rape or kill anyone? It's a higher form of thinking you may not understand.
Humans are part of nature. Dogs have different hierarchies than humans. All of the universe is a hierarchy of various sorts. Lucky for us there are multiple hierarchies. The janitor at work is a Judo black belt and kicks ass when training at the dojo.
[edit to add] Burke predicted what would happen with the breakdown of legitimate authority in France, in effect, it was the mob, or anarchy. A lot of people died. You are very unknowledgeable about history.
The state of humans in an anarchy is a war of all against all. Read your Hobbes, he's right on that at least.
