Even with the best forms of representative government and transparency and so on things are still shit.
There will always be people who crave power and influence and money and are willing to do anything they can to acquire more. Only laws and regulations can mitigate that.
That’s kind of the point. Anarchy doesn’t mean “no rules” or “no government”. It’s recognizing that people in power are either already corrupted or easily corruptable. It’s about creating rules to curb this. There are a lot of ways to do it, but anarchy, in general, is just about removing hierarchies. Those are the thing that causes so many issues, because it let’s people take advantage of it to benefit themselves.
