What would an anarchistic world even look like? The first thing that would happen if society collapsed is local communities gathering into "tribes" which just expand and develop until we get to where we are. Humans are natural pack animals would gravitate towards a structured community.

    It's funny how you assume that structured can only happen with violence. You're right, an advanced anarchist society would be a real democracy (not a representative democracy like we have today). It would in fact be way more structured than societies today. If a small group of people can't simply enforce rules on all the others, the bodies that make decisions for the group will have to do a lot more work to make sure they are including everyone in the conversation in order to avoid conflict. It would involve a lot more conversation, deliberation and balancing than our current societies.
