ELI5: What do anarchists want? A lawless society with every person fending for themselves?

I'm reading the controversy started by John Jay College professor, Mike Isaacson @vulgareconomics

Do people like him really think they would be better off without police and government? Are they prepared to survive in a society without law and order? 

Unless he has an arsenal, his physique doesn't strike me as being capable of holding its own in a lawless society...

Anarchists certainly don't want a society where people have to fend for themselves, no. Community is a central feature of anarchism. 

Anarchists don't reject structure in society so much as hierarchical structure. They want power to be decentralised and they want communities to organise by democratic means, namely consensus-building. Anarchists believe that humans are capable of resolving interpersonal conflict without the need for state intervention. 

Also, just because there is no codified law, doesn't mean that anarchists don't expect there'll some sort of normativity, they simply envision this to be in the shape of living customs as opposed to (what they regard as) dead law, which is slow to change in the face of constantly changing moral precepts. 

Obviously, whether this is at all feasible is... controversial.
