I don't disagree but I think people view any ideology that doesn't fit their idea of right as childish and naive.
In this case, I think it actually is childish and naive. Every discussion I've had with this flavor of anarchist always seems to go the same way: They point out grievances with the government (and they're usually legitimate grievances). However, instead of attempting to reform the government to account for those problems, they recommend abandoning the government altogether. If that isn't throwing the baby out with the bath water, I don't know what is.
