How is that not so? That's the question. You just have to look at times of humanity where there were no  governments or anything. There will be still people ruling regions and fighting for areas, if family clans or whatever.  Just that these groups care even less about the "normal" people living there.

You're assuming that people just decide out of nowhere that they're going to murder someone, or commit rape. It's much more complicated than that.

That's not even the main thing. How will infrastructure and living conditions remain at any reasonable level? Their are jobs, whether risky or unpleasant that people do not want to do. Without a currency system in place (or a brutally oppressive government like the Soviet Union under Stalin) how do you induce people to do those jobs? Heck, how do you induce peopleto do even regular jobs when it would be quicker and easier to use violence to obtain what they want? Ancom has never worked historically. Even the hippies communes based along those ideas fell apart typcially within years.
