Then we might end up much worst off right?

The world is a complicated place.

Yes, 'might'! The world is indeed a complicated place, with many good and kind people in it. So, 'much worse off, right?', not necessarily. The common depiction of an anarchic world is of a world ruled by violent chaos. The point is, total freedom has not been 'tried' before. Every society, culture or civilisation I've ever heard of, had rules, laws, government. And as such, any assumption of how dangerous or good total freedom would be, is just that, an assumption.

Teapot has a point, I just realized that such society has never existed, the problem is such society can never exist. Get it. Even in a complete free society there will be laws governing it, these laws are not implemented by any organized government but by the people. For example go to the street and disrespect someone uhhh maybe say "f@ck you" you expect a reaction from that individual right? And it is not going to be good. That is a law as in itself, the law of action reaction, when you have the fear with in you to not disrespect an individual for the sake of not getting punched in the face.

Hmmm do some research on this, I'll probably find some interesting material.
