Sure, they're smart, but anarchism is a great political philosophy for people who think they are smarter than they really are, and who can't understand the real implications of their political philosophy. Trust me, I used to be one. It's perfectly logical for trust fund kids to be drawn to a system that has no laws because they grow up never being told "no" and get mad when they grow up and the real world starts saying it. Suddenly, societal expectations and laws get in the way of what they want to do and they don't like it. It's a short hop over the line from ideologically pure libertarianism, which is a perfect philosophy for those who were born on third base and think they hit a triple.
