This is a trick question. Society doesn't exist if there is anarchy.

Sure, as long as your average person on the street doesn't mistake decentralized democracy and the abolition of capitalism (what anarchists support) for the absence of order (what corporate media would have you think anarchists support).

Anarchism is the name of a political philosophy or a group of doctrines and attitudes that are centered on rejection of government, or the state, as harmful and unnecessary and support its elimination.[1]The term "anarchism" is derived from the Greek αναρχία ("without archons" or "without rulers"). Thus "anarchism," in its most general meaning, is the belief that all forms of rulership are undesirable and should be abolished. The rise of anarchism as a cohesive philosophical movement began in the late 18th century, with William Godwin's Enquiry Concerning Political Justice

In general, anarchists advocate direct action and oppose voting in elections. Most anarchists feel that real change is not possible through voting. Further, many argue that voting amounts to condoning the state,[57] while others argue for a more pragmatic approach including voting in referendums.[58]

Direct action may be violent or non-violent. While some anarchists argue that violence is justified in overthrowing existing authority, most anarchists reject terrorism as authoritarian. Mikhail Bakunin and Errico Malatesta, for example, wrote of violence as necessary in revolutionary settings, but denounced terrorism as counter-revolutionary.[59]

Anarchists have often been portrayed as dangerous and violent, due mainly to a number of high-profile violent acts, including riots, assassinations, insurrections, and terrorism by some anarchists, as well as persistently negative media portrayal [60]. Many anarchists do not see the destruction of property as a violent act. Anarchists see war, however, as an activity in which the state seeks to gain and consolidate power, both domestically and in foreign lands, and subscribe to Randolph Bourne's view that "war is the health of the state."[61]

Anarchists also engage in building parallel structures and organizations, such as Food Not Bombs, radical labor unions, alternative media and radical social centers. This is in line with the general anarchist concept of creating Dual Power, creating the structures for a new anti-authoritarian society in the shell of the old, hierarchical one.

The theory and practice of anarchism has been controversial since it came to prominence in the 19th century. Some of the criticisms made of anarchism come from the interests it opposes, such as governments. Other criticisms have been made internally of other anarchists or by political movements that appear to share similar goals, such as Marxism. Many question the idealist nature of anarchism, and have misgivings about its practical application in the real world. Some point to anarchism's inability to establish a viable anti-state. Some social scientists note that hierarchies appear to be synonymous with human civilization, although others note that many indigenous societies have been largely egalitarian.

If we had an anarchist society, the first thing I would do, is kill you and any other anarchist, then set up a system of government.

I'll just say that I really envy the founding fathers of this country. They were able to defeat there oppressive government and set up the greatest country the world has ever seen. Unfortunately we have all forgot what they stood for. If they were able to see us now they would be appalled.

Anarchy would just be a means of killing off a lot of the population, eventually there would be some form of govenment established again.
