Yes, but if you're bowling with the bumpers up and can't hit the pins, removing the bumpers will not help. And instead of having to go through the government beaurocracy they could just do it directly.
This is a good analogy too, because in the "anarchy system", nothing stops someone from just walking up and kicking all the pins over for a perfrect 300 game every time, while batting away all other balls.
Except of course, someone else doing that same thing, it just escalates into violence on top of the pins until one bully kills the other and continues to "bown" perfect 300 games.
Meanwhile we have a pack of people who just increasinly wonder what is the point of even playing.
There is something that stops people from doing that, it's everyone else stopping them. Anarchism is not "do whatever you want despite it harming the community" or pacifism.
And news flash, we already live in a world of violence, the state has a monopoly on it and we see how unjust it is applied every day. They use that monopoly on violence to protect the likes of the Epstein class and murder minorities, and always have.
