Its a common misconception that all forms of anarchy are sononymous with what is called
individualist anarchy. Those crazy guys in ski masks blowing up banks and stuff aren't the main of what you'd call a real anarchist. For example Noam Chomsky calls himself an anarchist at heart and he obviously doens't want the downfall of all organized government.
The heart of anarchy is alot like socialism in general. The idea is government from the ground up where you govern yourself locally. Its a total contradiction of world scale economics but it certainly isn't the idea of everyone running around without any laws whatsoever.
To sononymize all Anarchy with Individualist Anarchists is like saying all feminists are the same as Lesbian Feminists (those crazy women that want both sexes to live on seperate islands).
So in theory Anarchy is as viable as any other form of socialism.
