And there is no reason to believe that decentralized organizations can't be just as effective if not more so than centralized, hierarchical ones in dealing with the problems of murder, rape, etc. People would still have organized means of dealing with crime, it would just be organized more like the volunteer fire department than like the military.
Here I thought we were on the same wave...for once. Your words "History shows that true anarchy can not possibly arise unless the populace of a region is committed to anarchist principles."

"vast majority of people are willing to contribute to society even when not forced to"

But this is the case right now and it's not working because there is a small group of "assholes" raping, murdering, etc....
In order to control the situation you need cops or military. They need leaders in order to coordinate movements, a hierarchy is created, your screaming for Anarchy again. It's a vicious cycle when you really look at it!
