I think you've got anarchists and anarcho-capitalists in the sheep and wolves analogy. The former don't recognize the latter as anarchists.
I'm generally of the opinion that there are better ways to organize society than the one we have, and a lot of anarchist principles go a fair way in doing improving matters. But I also lived in collective houses and worked in collectives and found that weirdly, the burden of the less glamorous work, be it dishes and toilets or tabling at the 'zine fair, mysteriously always ended up being done by women while the men did the important work of talking and thinking. So I am a little skeptical that we can all function in the complete absence of a state.
That said, I am in favour of abolishing a lot of the things that states currently do that are not useful, and focusing on things like healthcare, education, transportation, and environmental regulation, which are actually socially valuable.
