It assumes that people will look after themselves.
Which is an unjustified assumption. Essentially pack animals, human beings seem to require a leader.
Furthermore, the notion of people looking after themselves won't work, either. Suppose I show up at your house, beat you senseless with a club, and nick all your goods. As an anarchist, you can't call the cops, you can't get your friends to come after me, you can't sue me, etc., as all these things require you to be assisted by other people (hence, not 'looking after yourself'). More extremely, I could not just beat you, but KILL you, and I would suffer no consequences.
Sorry, mate, but it's just not on. Anarchism is a pipe dream in the purest sense of the term.
