There can't. That's why it's so fucking stupid.
For anarchy to 'work' it must assume 1 of 3 things:
1. that people don't interact with each other at all
2. that they are capable of solving their differences and problems all on their own (without any authority or governmental system overseeing it)
3. that they suddenly stop exhibiting human behaviour and magically get on with each other, all of the time.
Now it doesn't take a genius to work out that none of these things are going to happen. Ergo, anarchy, as a political system, is flagrantly naive in what it expects, and flat out stupid in terms of any kind of implementation.
Any notion of a society is incompatible with anarchy. Anyone who says otherwise isn't using the same definition of anarchy as what I am.
