Why is Anarchism mostly taken as a joke?

RE: Why is Anarchism mostly taken as a joke?
The concept of a state-less society seems too alien to modern worldviews of mass population centres. As Kichi says, it's rare that an anarchist actually describes how it would work. The misconception of Anarchy doesn't help, since most people interpret Anarchy as Chaos, which is not necessarily the goal of an anarchist.

I'm not sure where I stand on it to be honest, since I believe society has responsibility to provide certain rights to the disadvantaged which I fail to see could be constructed without a state.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
