The Problems of Prisons and Government Authority

I have never voted in my life…I have always known and understood that the idiots are in a majority so it’s certain they will win.
-Louis-Ferdinand Céline


Imagine it is sometime in the future; the United States no longer exists and in its stead no nation exists at all, but a thriving society, organized and peaceful without any central authority, laws or capitalistic markets.
This may be construed as a Utopian fantasy, and perhaps it is, there is no way to know for sure because no society to that extent has existed, at least not since before recorded history, but even then it is fairly safe to imagine mankind as a conglomerate of petty chieftains, warlords and the like. Is the idea of a society without laws, police, prisons and military feasible in any sense? The concept frightens most people, and for good reason. Logically when we think of the term ‘lawless’ it brings to mind chaos, thugery, unchecked murders and crime, so a lawless society must be a bad thing.
The truth is that so far anarchistic philosophers and theoreticians have not brought about any satisfactory answer to the question of dealing with what we’ll term as ‘anti-social’ behavior. Peter Kropotkin’s answer was that the system’s we are using now: prisons, capitalism, etc., breeds this behavior and crime is a result of it. People are inherently good and decent and if treated so will act so, the rare few that still behave to the contrary and commit offenses that harm others should simply be jointly excluded from society, not through literal banishment, but basically ignoring them to the extreme.
A charming concept, but its foundation lays completely on an assumption of what normal human behavior is and how it will adapt to this idea of society. I like the idea that inherently we are all good, and decent for the most part, but thousands of years of human history has shown us what humans are capable of, how far we can stretch greed and pettiness. The people that actually act this way are relatively few compared with the majority, but their effects can be far reaching and devastating.
Realistically the idea of a society without government, an anarcho-communistic society, still lacks complete practicality. What to do with those that still act as criminals, or anti-socially, has not been satisfactorally answered. While it is true that capitalism by its very nature creates crime, and an anarchistic society would greatly reduce the urge to commit crime by eliminating the "route of all evil," crime will always exist in some form. It is an issue that must be addressed.
