One could argue that most of the people who want to go all Mad Max do in fact break the law to do so, and are now in jail. Or do you think that disturbed people who want to do harm to the general populace don't exist?
I think it's a bit straw-man-y to say that people who argue that "without law there would be chaos" are saying they want chaos. In fact, it's the opposite. There is clearly some minority slice of humanity that just wants to cause others harm, and we need some sort of structure/order to keep those people from causing harm. I find that most people advocating for anarchy don't really have a good answer to how we handle antisocial behavior.
I work in a position that enables me to actually confirm this to be true. There are A LOT of criminals out there. And if society started collapsing a lot of previously good people would turn into criminals out of desperation or opportunity. I honestly don't think the average person understands how many people there are out there that have no problem with the idea of taking advantage of others and even just the threat of law enforcement is what stops them.
No, they certainly do not. Every time I've gotten into an argument with an anarchist their ideology falls to pieces as soon as I start asking the difficult questions.
