Anarchy is not about no rules at all. The common law always stands, 'rulers' or 'governemnt' are just administrators. They are managers of the economy and their written rules are not laws. There are only 3 valid laws and they are common law/natural law. Everything else is rules of society. Yeh I guess conservatives are closer to libertarian except in uk the cons are now just as leftist as labour and both are pretty much fascist.

As far as I know it Anarchy is derived from An Archos which means "No Rulers".

It doesn't define any rules. Common law, common justice, natural law, natural justice, etc... I think you'll find it ends up being interpreted VERY subjectively.

Natural Law and things like that still fit within what I myself call Minarchist. Minimal set of rules. :)

Yet that is my subjective interpretation.

Anarchy is the rejection of governmental authority and societal hierarchy. Nothing to do with lawlessness.
But- It also has become a synonym for chaos and disorder. Probably propaganda.

Yep. I didn't say lawlessness. I simply stated the etymology of the word and where it comes from and what it means.

It literally means "No Rulers".

Everything beyond that is subjective interpretation.

It doesn't mean chaos, though that is how the media loves to present it.

Many people think of Road Warrior/Mad Max type settings when they think of Anarchy because that is what they have been conditioned to think.

Exactly, conditioning.
