There will be government as in, society will arrange itself toward order based on the necessity of egos to deal with each other.
Even something simple like dividing a piece of cake requires governing principles. Something simple like, "You cut the pieces, I choose which piece I want." You remind me of people who claim that socialism would work if it weren't for the people being greedy. That is the point; people fuck up every style of government out there. If I get your point, things would be better if everyone would just let go of rules and treat each other well. I agree, but I have yet to meet two people who truly agree on what that will look like.
Exactly. Anarchism depends on human beings always agreeing on what is best for the group and setting their own interests to one side. History has amply demonstrated that not enough humans have this quality to make anarchism work.
In a more earthy sense, in the cesspit that is human society, there's always going to be at least one chunk striving to get to the top.
