Is Anarchism a Good Political Philosophy

Hello, and welcome. My name is Alex Kozlowski and I wish to debate with an Anarchist to discuss whether or not Anarchism is a good political philosophy. I wish for someone to present the argument of anarchism to me and then we go back and forth about whether or not it's good. My opponent will present the argument and than I will respond with further questions. I come at this debate not fully against anarchism but I'm just questioning with a skeptical mind. I would like to take this occasion by describing what I know and my history with anarchism. When I was in my third semester of my community worker program at George Brown College, I had a fascination with anarchism and how would an anarchist society would work. To me, what an anarchism is is a society without government. I have a couple of problems with this philosophy. My first problem with anarchism is the following. As many of us know, in 2008, What's being called "The Great Recession" is being known to be the third most biggest financial crises ever(1). Anyone with a brain could tell that Wall Street was all over this. Due to not enough regulations in the banks and corporations, Banks and Corporations are able to use schemes such as derivatives(2) and the legal definition of "Corporate Person hood"(3). Even though the U.S. has failed to put these people in prosecution, there are some regulations. Now imagine those regulations we have now and being stripped into nothingness. How do you propose to protect the majority of society from corrupt banks and corporations without government? The second problem that I see in anarchism is that anarchism is made up of many factions going from Anarcho-Capitalism, Anarcho-Communism, Anarcho-syndicalism, and even Anarcho Queer.(4) Described by many anarchists, it's the idea of a community working together. I fail to see this. Take the Green Anarchists for example who are in favor of environmental protection who are willing to do anything including environmental terrorism in the name of the planet. Then take Anarcho-Capitalism which happens to be right beside the Green Anarchist community decided to have a the biggest factory that has emmision of CO2 near the Green Anarchist Community. What we got here is a conflict of interest between communities without any order about what gets done and how. Individual members of society will go into their separate groups based on the individuals interest. The Bottom line with this point is anarchism has no clear specific plan as to where it's going to go and the lack of order due to conflicts of interest( I hope this didn't sound vague) The Third problem and the most common, Is anarchism technically being hypocritical? Even if anarchists were to overthrow the government and other corporate powers, Aren't they technically a government? Finally, The fourth point I have which is connected to the 2nd point a bit but I fail to see how anarchism can stay in power. In the Paris Commune, the commune only lasted 2 months and that was with Marxists. As empowering as Anarchism sounds, I remain skeptical about the system. I feel the lack of organization and the lack of planning a huge problem in anarchism and I don't see how one could be possible. I did say I was an anarchist once but only for my third semester in college however I would like to be proved wrong just to see the other sides point of view. I look forward to your response.
