Anarchism means people can protect themselves and their community without a state interfering. This means if you don't protect yourself you pay consequences. Those that would become tyrannical don't appear fully formed.

A functional anarchist society needs cultural mechanisms, i.e. tolerance of self defense at all levels, these should be able to prevent psychopaths from growing old. But I'm limited in what I can write here.

Agreed. Essentially the big reason many people support the idea of a government is simply because it is an effective deferral of responsibility for certain issues. The most effective example is unironically the existence of the government "benefit".
