Sure, but anarchism is the absence of state. IMO in the absence of force people will naturally slide in to a hierarchical system based on decentralized authority and power where most of the wealth will be focused in the hands of a few. Without a state, you expect the opposite result?

In the absence of force? How do you coincide that with wealth being focused in the hands of the few? They would need force to maintain that power. And no, I don't expect the opposite to occur just from abolishing the state, the economic system has to be replaced too.

I mean centralized, state force. in the 1800's you have private militias that were larger than the entire US military for hire by large corporate entities. That's what I'd expect to happen without state force, private militias for hire that act as enforcers for the rich and powerful that rise to the top of the economic ladder. How you expect to replace an economic system without a state to enforce it? Do you mean like a "Zeitgeist movie" type system?
