This is mostly a serious question. Also, not for the tankies/MLs. I already know what your answer to that question is. I may not always agree with you on everything, but you do have an answer that if the conditions became right, could actually work.

No, this is for the type of anarchist completely against the wall, gulags, seemingly any amount of getting hands dirty. What is the solution to those types of people? There are so many of them in the US, a lot of which are heavily armed, that they could easily topple a socialist system, and even if they didn't do that, their existence would be incompatible with any marginalized group living their lives, since they love to harass them at best, outright murder them at worse. So what's the solution? Anarchists often seem to avoid this, seemingly believing that if there was a socialist or communist society, they would just say "aw shucks, guess I was wrong about that. Guess I'll no longer be racist or xenophobic!"

So am I missing something, what's the answer?

    The rules come from the constitution voted upon by the people.

    When? Which people? Who wrote it? Who carried out this election? Who decided the ballot?

    Tell me how would an anarchist society enforce laws then? And how would an anarchist society ensure every individual would have equal power?

    Free association and self defence, same as an end stage communist society

    Anarchism(a philosophy that holds hierarchies to be undesirable) and anarchy (a society without hierarchies) are separate concepts, an anarchist society would have to be continually vigilant in identifying and abolishing hierarchy(ensuring each individual has equal power)
