But... then what? When I think, "what comes next?" it becomes apparent that the resulting power vacuum will just be filled by some other form of government. As long as people are near each other there will be government, we just need to figure out how to form one that will bring equanimity to the populace through the best disciplinary measures and economic distribution methods. I'm American so I'll speak about America. What I see now is society being separated into walled gardens where, if you meet the purity test, you will be allowed to flourish and speak your mind such that it conforms to the thoughts of the denizens within the walls. Dems and Repubs are at each others throats and seem unable to see the value that comes from both parties. Ad hominem seems to be the universal tool wielded by both sides. We all live in echo chambers built on the internet within social platforms. The only thing I see clearly is that I don't see things as clearly as I could lead myself to believe.
What makes you think another form of government would arise if we didn't have any government? A few centuries ago, quite a few people would believe another form of slavery would arise if we didn't have slavery.

Well, like I've said in the description, many people say anarchists would stop being anarchists if they had some liberal arts education. Well, that's not true in my case. If I can speak Latin, I am very well educated in liberal arts, don't you think?
