As far as anarchists - anarchy is a broad concept. Literally meaning "no ruler" it can be applied to Christianity because leaders are to be servants - NOT rulers. Jesus taught that the way of peace is not through ruling hierarchies but through servants leading by example and followers following voluntarily through a change of heart. From there though we see a steady digression (in Christianity) back to bosses and domination, beginning with Paul and worsening until the papacy claimed absolute rule.
Today we have pastor bosses who run their little kingdoms as they see fit, and all the while claiming that they are called by God to do it as they are. Even as they are all doing it differently.
(Now THAT'S anarchy!)So an ultimate society is envisioned where no laws are needed and no government is needed. Make's sense to me.
