Anarchy, in it's simplest form, is being able to choose where your money goes. Compare this to how the State takes it from you. And as Milton said, people are more careful when spending their own money than when spending someone else's.
If you want a more detailed explanation, strap yourself in and prepare to get '''tldr'''ed
For your convenience, I'll be splitting this into parts.
The difference between Government and Governance
And this Monopoly is enforced through state aggression.
'''Adam Smith's definition of monopoly''': The privilege of a legal barrier to competition, such as a license or franchise. This can be simplified to being “A grant (''Funds or products given or allowed'') from the state”. Therefore, to compete with a monopolist, is to go against the state.
Such a person would be suppressed by force, which is why monopolies and aggression are intimately related. Tariffs (Restrictions on foreign goods) are Oligoplistic (Ol-i-gop-lis-tic: Multiple Monopolies) making them a burden on both consumers and manufactures. This includes copyrights and patents as well.

Why are Monopolies bad?
If the monopoly works for a Government, then it's in the best interest of the monopolizer to work as slowly as possible. Because the tax-payers are being forced to pay for them, they'll continue to receive the same amount of payment over a longer period of time until the task is complete. Monopolists are in a much stronger position to influence politics due to their greater financial resources. Because when the monopolizer is the only supplying firm, they have the power to raise prices without adversely affecting demand for their products/ services.
The reasons for why they would influence politics, could be to ensure that no anti-monopoly measures are undertaken. But also, to extend the monopoly to include other products or services, or to reduce safety regulations and worker rights.
Monopolies can also be made into the reason for why more state controls are needed, but these would also be under their influence.
When we're forced to pay one group of people (Government) for public services, with no alternatives, their priorities then become that of those who willingly pay them (Lobbyists), expecting something in return. Because the state continues to receive payment, regardless of their quality of service.
So instead of Government, what if we chose who we gave money to in exchange for services in the public sector? Such as Courts, Hospitals, Security, ect?
Know that Society is Private Sector plus Public Sector both organized in a significantly horizontal fashion according to anarchy.
What is anarchy?
Anarchy (An-ar-chy) and Anarchism (An-ar-chism) is the system and management without rulers. Co-operation without repression, tyranny and slavery.
“An” in Greek means a word without it's suffix.
The suffix “arch” means “ruler” (Superior in contrast to subordinate), so Anarchy means:
Some common archy's include Monarchy (A state that is inherited or given to somebody's descendant), Oligarchy (The rule of a few), Polyarchy (A state ruled by more than one person), Ochlarchy (Mob rule), and Plutocracy (Plu-toc-racy or Plu-tar-chy: Control by the wealthy).
Ochlarchy (mob rule): Violent supremacy through actions of a police-like force.
All the different forms of Mob Rule, which is when a percentage of a population is controlled through the use of bullying. The pronunciation of Ochlarchy is very strange. The actual sound it makes could be written as A-car-key.
Note the difference between Supremacy and Ochlarchy is that Supremacy is the quality of being Supreme while Ochlarchy is violent Supremacy through actions of a police-like force.
But without rulers, who will make the laws? Who get's to decide what?
Ah, the million dollar question. Firstly you need to know the difference between Laws and Rules.
Rules are relatively fixed ways to settle thing's in an orderly manner. The courts on local, regional, and confidential levels are where Common laws are created. Common or Case-generated laws are actually rules established by judges in court decisions when settling a dispute. Case law evolves as judges give reasons for their decisions and cite precedents from other cases which had a bearing on their decision.
Human interaction is subject to regulation by customs, ethics, religious belief, and common law (Case-law).
There are three possible aims of punishment: Restraint, Revenge, Reform
But the state only succeeds at the first two.
But then who will enforce these rules? Are there going to be police?
Lets have a look at what the police actually are.
Police inherently involve the use of coercion, which means to restrain and the actual or threatened use of force to compel an action by another person. But with Anarchy, the goal is not the absence of coercion, but the absence of a centralized coercive authority by a ruling class.

The difference between Government and Governance
- Government: Territorial monopoly on violence, rule creation, & enforcement.
- Governance: Accountability for consistent cohesive policies, processes, and decision rights ('Management)
And this Monopoly is enforced through state aggression.

Monopoly Means Aggression, Not Just Limited Choices
Impossible to have one without the other
