Anarchy is the individual expression of autarky. Just as no nation can provide all its own needs from within its borders, neither can any one human provide his own needs without compromise to another. Trusting another human in compromise -- a total stranger, mind you, not a family member or loved one -- without another solid foundation is simply pieintheskyism. And that other foundation is law, which of course implies government. If someone screws me over I can hire a lawyer and appeal to the agreed standards of behavior in a court which can agree or disagree with me. It may be imperfect, but it's a damned sight better than trusting the good will of a total stranger.
Of course, that's a lesson taught by time and responsibility.
