This is a bit of an old reply, but I thought I'd post something I stumbled upon here as it's a response to your fear of warlords: https://kolektiva.social/@HeavenlyPossum/111290743792188200
From the post (it's quite extensive with plenty of references):
That's the problem. Acting alone is not an option since an organized force will always defeat a disorganized one, and "cooperation" would mean forming the same kinds of hierarchies and governments that we already have, except they won't have the centuries of stress-testing our present democratic systems have undergone and will therefore fall to corruption and authoritarianism much more easily.
This is why anarchism is such a bankrupt ideology. At best it consists of people willing to burn the world down to institute a system that would be the same but worse.
Doesn't seem like you read any of it, and it doesn't seem like you are open to new ideas. So... In the status quo you remain then. Good luck!
