Anarchy has its roots in the Greek arkhos (leader) and anarkhos meaning without a chief or a head.

Precisely the definition I was referring to.

If you are implying that this equates to some sort of emergent philosophy where things just work by themselves, you're wrong. A rule set has to exist and decisions made in relation to it. How that rule set is generated and enforced is the subject of much debate and research, but anarchy is not a working model.

I was implying nothing. Just stating that the opposite of total state control is the complete lack of any government. While the thought of living in benevolent anarchy resonates emotionally with me, I concur that civilization cannot exist without a structure of law.
