  What they don't realize is that liberty (another word for the true meaning of anarchy, which is simply Greek for "no ruler") results in order.

  I am pretty sure that history would prove that wrong over and over again. Anarchy does not in any way result in order. Which is probably why the dictionary definition means disorder.

  Or maybe I didn't get what you were trying to say.

    If the first organization of humanity wasn't anarchy, what was it and how can you prove it?

      Why would I need to do that? I only have to look at history. You see people groups clanning with a definite hierarchy of rule. Even in "primitive" tribes they had chieftains etc. who ruled.
      
      The first organization very well could have been an anarchy type setup but I would bet (since nobody can prove one way or the other) that it quickly changed into something else.

        anarchy [that] quickly changed into something else

        Q.E.D., no? Order arose from disorder.
