Anarchist tendencies have some inherent philosophical and practical flaws unfortunately.
Anarchism relies on a naive, idealistic view of human nature, falsely assuming people are inherently good and cooperative once state authority is removed. Selfishness does stem from capitalist competition and private property, meaning solidarity cannot simply be unlocked by abolishing the state, but must be consciously organized through a new economic system.
I would encourage you to read Kropotkin"s “Are We Good Enough?” It’s short, and he addresses your charge that Anarchists have an unrealistic vision of human nature.
Actually I hate it cause my parents and grandparents suffered under it in the GDR. None of them own yachts or houses either.
Socialism isn’t far enough. We need anarcho-com.
