I'm at a crossroads between Mutualism, Individualism and Anarchism.

The more I study libertarian and anarchist thought the more anti-state I become.  While I like to think of myself as an Anarcho-Capitalist, I can't help but see the flaws in that line of thought, the biggest one being that corporations, while initially voluntary, could theoretically create quasi-nation-states that bring about their own form of oppression.  The only way I could see an anarchist society truly working is if everyone adhered to the non-aggression principle, and had a shared system of morals.

People honestly think anarchism would work?

Really?

I like it in the ideological sense, but there's no way it would actually work. I also like the thought of a world completely without evil, but you gotta be realistic.

Wrapped all of the results in the OP in a spoiler, since they began to take up a lot of space.

I don't like that second picture.

You can't call anything anarchist unless it lies literally along the very bottom of the chart.

Anyway, I'll do the test now.

You should add users' results to the OP, too.

It also puts progressiveism on the right which is so hilariously wrong it invalidates the whole chart.

No shit Sherlock.

But remove the police and I'll run into your house and murder you where as I wouldn't right now because I don't want to live in a cage for the rest of my life. See the logic?

Remove the police and nothing stops my redneck relatives from hogtying you and dragging you down the road behind a pickup truck.  Maybe that'd be enough to stop you, since my redneck relatives aren't preoccupied with everyone else's problems.

You don't seem to understand.

What's to stop 10 guys running into people's houses and acting like savages? Your redneck friends will be engaged in an all out war with people. Eventually people will make explosives and just eradicate those who resist. The toughest and meanest people will get together and start raiding whole towns then cities.

Anarchy will send us back thousands of years into the past.

You're assuming that in an anarchist society communities will cease to exist, that everyone will turn on their neighbors.  The real world isn't The Purge.  People have a moral compass.  You're delusional if you think that fear is the only thing keeping people in check.

Added.

Never seen that movie. Communities will exist. Just like they did thousands of years ago. Difference is they'll be violent and run by tyrants. Everybody will fight each other.

Smart communities would work to establish trade with other communities and, at times, would work together against any "rogue" entities.

If you seriously think people won't start attacking each other, you're the delusional one. We barely have any peace now, what the fuck do you think is going to happen if there are no repercussions to murdering all your neighbors who don't give you everything they have?

Implying people in the surrounding community can't do anything the police can.  There are repercussions.  Common law is a thing.

We're still extremely violent and primitive. Fear is one of the only things that keep us in line.

Not really.  History has shown that those that work well with others prosper while tyrants and warmongers end up dead or isolated.

If our society were to devolve into anarchy, there would be no place for compassion and mercy. I'd murder every motherfucker in a building and turn it into a fortress. Why? Because I know if I don't drop my sense of morals and do what I have to do to survive, somebody else will do it and kill me. That's how it was in the past, that EXACTLY how it would be now. We haven't changed.

So you have to murder to ensure your survival?  Are you that much of a mindless drone?  Surely you don't mean to insult your own intellect?

Close to the middle, as I am with most of these tests.
