Too many anarchists (and Libertarians) are all “Your Laws are telling me what to do any taking away my free will an autonomy.”

Do not confuse Anarchists with Right-wing libertarianism, only the latter is an advocate for complete deregulation and chaos.

Essentially, at some point in time, se dumbass did something stupid, and it harmed someone else, and we, society, collectively came together and said "No, this is harmful, its not allowed, we trusted people to be good to eachother, they failed, now there is a law that “forces trust” with consequences for failing to keep that trust.

That is what Anarchists do. Just instead of having a bunch of representatives who are corporate captured make those rules for them, A community will directly decide on those rules themselves, collectively.

The real problem people have is that in many cases, the enforcement mechanism is not being used/is not working.

Which is 99% of the time due to capitalism, as the rules are selectively enforced against the poor, and often never enforced at all against the rich and powerful.
