Anarchy is unstable.

It will always need someone to enforce it.
Otherwise society will fall into some other, more organized, form.

Diligent enforcers of anarchy are conflicted in their motives.

Indeed. This is why it would never practically work. Anarchy relies on the notion that citizens all behave as rational cooperative moral actors all the time. History is quite clear that this impossible. The lack of an enforced conflict resolution scheme makes an actual anarchist society impossible. As soon as one person decides not to abide by an arbitrated settlement, the game's over.
