As much as I like the concept of anarchism in its essence, it's utopian to think that someday it will be possible to implement it in our society. The paradoxical short story "The Anarchist Banker", by Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa, really shows the impracticality of anarchism. I highly recommend it, it's a very good read.



Edit:
I found it online.

I thought that was an interesting read and a fairly accurate assessment as to why anarchy couldn't happen in the society we currently live in. But just as a memento, anarchism is freedom from rulers, not freedom from illusion.

EDIT: of course we will have to free ourselves from SOME illusion, but not all. The short story also judges the capabilities of a person by their genetics and how the society they've been raised in, completely dismissing free will. I'm not sure if that was explicit in the story and I just missed it, but there's a pretty big difference.
