How can anarchism not become chaotic? Family has a governmental structure. The President of the family is the father. There is a system in place. Government is simply a structure. Companies have governance as well. Without structure, you have chaos.

Would you consider Bitshares a company? Bitshares is known as a DAC, a Decentralized Autonomous Community/Company. There is no president, and the "powers" get divided up amongst many different people. I see disagreements once in awhile and the occasional rage-quit, but Bitshares continues to grow like crazy.
As for the father being president, I have to disagree there. I am a father of two, and my wife and i share in all decisions. If she's not happy, then I sure won't be happy. You might have been taught that the man is the head of the house (church perhaps?), but the woman is the neck, and she can turn the head any way she wants. --shout out to the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding
As for companies, I manage multiple teams of developers providing my insight and ideas, but ultimately i leave it up to them to make the right decisions on how to structure a class, function or sub-routine etc, seek out bugs, and do what they do best.. code code code. So, yes it might be my company that hired them, but giving them the freedom to do it right and collaborate directly with their peers on other dev teams around the world brings in a very nice level of decentralization in my company too. So, once designers, developers and other creatives start to see the power of decentralizing, then that hierarchy disappears as well and everyone gets a piece of the pie.
Government is good or bad? Some say it is bad. Some say government is not in family or in some decentralized groups. You might be arguing semantics, on what to call what. There is structure and design in life. We may call things with different names and labels, but those things are still there. You do not have to call yourself the boss to be the boss. As a father, you do not have to think of yourself as the leader or king to be at the top with your wife.

Better leaders delegate. You trust in other people. They do the work. But if they do not do the work, who will fire them or how do you get rid of people if you need to? These are questions about how you do your business. The structure is a form of governance even if you choose not to label it with words that you do not like for some reason. Different people have different roles and jobs which are suited to their abilities and talents and everything. Men and women have the freedom to do what they want to do. Women can choose to do what men do. Look at the relationship between Captain Picard and his number one, Riker, in Star Trek Next Generation (STNG). Picard was at the top, but he would get advice from Riker. Many things happened in their seven seasons and in their movies. The father and mother may have that same kind of relationship. It can be rather complex or simple. It is a long story. Men are often better suited above women. That is how things work.

Decentralization is a structure and a design.

Government does not have to be big, bad, evil, and corrupt.

But too often, it has been because people are bad too often.

So, we normally hate the word "GOVERNMENT."
In Star Trek, Starfleet was a an opt-in organization. Because participation was voluntary, it was perfectly compatible with anarchism. I think it's a good example of how people will choose to participate in hierarchies and submit to legitimate authorities voluntarily.
If you are forcing your children to obey you, then yes, you are their ruler. That's not anarchist structure. An anarchist parent doesn't rule their children at all. They serve their children as service providers and never force them to do anything against their will.
Kids can choose to leave if they do not want to follow the rules. And when people come into my country, then I want them to follow the rules and laws of my country. If you do not want to follow the laws, you must pay the price or leave. The same thing is true for companies. Everything involves choice even when people say there is no choice. The choice is always there and the spanking hurts me more than it hurts you.
The word anarchy literally just means "without rulers." It doesn't mean that there can be no voluntary structures. Consent is the key. The current governments that we're accustomed rule by force, not by consent. Companies are perfectly compatible with anarchy because participation in them is voluntary. Your boss at work isn't a ruler because you're just engaged in a voluntary transaction with him and you can end your association with one another at any time.
@piedpiper, I disagree. What you said are generalities of how you see the world. A CEO can rule by force. A CEO can also engage in consent and participation and collaboration and teamwork. Government does the same thing. There does not need to be a difference between how a boss does stuff with how government leaders do things. It is the same thing or can be. A boss can be a ruler and a ruler can act like a boss. It goes both ways.
No, A CEO cannot rule by force because his employees enter into their position voluntarily and are always free to leave. It's a consensual agreement, not force. Government laws are backed by the threat of violence (theft, kidnapping, imprisonment, assault, and murder).
Kids grow up and they leave too. The husband and wife come together via a consensual agreement, something like a legal contract and commitment and smart contract, a thing we call marriage, and when a father is too bad, maybe like seen in the movie Mr. Doubt Fire starring funny comedian actor Robin Williams, and if the father is maybe too bad and abusive and is like assaulting kids and doing too bad, then the mother or others can take the kids from him. You do not like government. You have personal problems with government. That is very sad. You cannot see pass your own blind spot. You live in fear and you deflect an reflect and impose your own feelings and problems onto others by saying that they fear when you are the one that fears either accidentally and subliminally or you do know that you are in fear. You can say you have no fear but you do regardless of whether you know it or not.
When kids grow up, they're not kids anymore. Wives aren't kids either. We were talking about assaulting children. Of course marriage, as we know it, is consensual.
I object to anyone that initiates violence against others. Government is an example of that but so are parents who hit their kids. The offense is the same and when you teach kids to accept violence from you, they will grow into adults who accept violence from others like the church and state. You're raising them to be unintelligent servants rather than free and sovereign individuals.
