Eventually one might come to the conclusion that there is no way to have people in power and it not be abused.
And yet, communities have collective needs, and require that some of us administer those needs. What are we to do? Embrace anarchy or libertarianism? Not for me I don’t think. Just push for systems that create positive, pro-social incentive structures. It is the best I think we can do.
You're using "anarchy" as analogous to "chaos". Embrace each other rather than a group that claims power using violence.
You can have people in power and have them not abuse it assuming that the public in turn has the power and information to remove or reprimand them them when they do so.
Obviously that can be difficult to implement well but it is far from impossible.
