They are just delusional idiots, imagining that people would follow laws without a government backing them up. Hell, even with a government, people are often quite willing to break the law.

I would call them Utopists. One can always hope that human nature allows for peaceful interactions. Is it realistic? No. But a dreamer isn't automatically an idiot.
A dreamer is an idiot if the dreamer cannot distinguish between dreams and reality.
