This isn't exactly what the comic portrays though. If you're thinking of "anarchy" as being the absence of government, it isn't anarchy itself that would lead to a structured society, it's the intentional efforts of people to build a society sans government that is structured on things other than property and institutional violence.
The idea of government does not require property and institutional violence. If that’s where we’re starting from then there’s not going to be much of a conversation to be had.
Why not? It sounds like you have a specific idea of what these words mean to you, but if those are very different from what people identifying as anarchists are talking about, it doesn't seem like there is much point objecting on the basis of your preferred definitions, that's basically just a strawman argument.
