And once enough people kill each other off--we will.
But that puts you right back here again. Any global calamity large enough to reduce the population to where an anarchistic ideal could work would also kill off the food supply so the few survivors would again be going after each other's stuff.
Food and shelter give you all you absolutely need.
Some of us like stuff like electricity, running water, dentistry and the availability of things like tetanus shots. None of which can be supplied in a society of hermits. If you want to go Grizzly Adams, that's your call. But don't pretend it's going to make for a reasonable society of any sort.

You must be The Professor from Gilligan's Island.
There's too many people in to world today for me to avoid them...so I do what I can to limit my personal contact with them.
Have you met the person that built your computer--or your house? No. So what do they matter to you? Other people don't matter to me unless I CHOOSE to let them impact my life. In particular, women.
