Anarchy can't exist as a government. It's a stateless society with no heirarchy.
Anarchy does not mean chaos. The word "anarchy" is from the Greek, prefix an (or a), meaning "not," "the want of," "the absence of," or "the lack of", plus archos, meaning "a ruler," "director", "chief," "person in charge," or "authority." Or, as Peter Kropotkin put it, Anarchy comes from the Greek words meaning "contrary to authority."
Don't take my word for it. Read the Anarchist Faq.

Anarchy is a lack of government not a form of it. Animals have no government but this question is just reaching for approval of anarchy. In the real world anarchy is unreasonable because it relies t much on people being perfect. Anarchy is a bad idea thankfully no one had to come up with it just look around after a governing power collapsed.

Anarchy is not a form of government. Its a form of no government. It would not be good to have no government. The basis of our civilization is our governments. Without government, the world would be completely uncivilized and poeple would live like animals. Lets say you buy a nice house, who is gonna stop the guy with a gun from shooting you and taking your house? Are you gonna call the police? I don't think so.

anarchy is a lack of government.
Let me ask you this: When you ran out of stuff to take, who would manufacture more of it? Do you think people are going to work hard for something just so the lazy people can take it away? Do you not understand the downward spiral that would happen in an anarchist environment?
Also, if you are a liberal, and you woke up into anarchy, wouldn't you wish you had bought a gun?

What makes you think people would take only what they need? Isn't greed a frequent tendency with people generally?
Who paves the streets in anarchy? Who teaches the children? Who runs the police?
Just my thoughts.

The best form of government depends entirely on the culture/society you propose to govern.
