Well, this has never been tried, because existing power structures are actively resisting such society reorganization. You make your statements about society behaviour with such confidence, but you miss a certain factor: the society can't start to behave correctly out of a sudden. First, it must be educated. And from my life experience most people (like >90% of the total population!) already do work and coexist with others quite successfully without any coercion or governance, so ruling out anarchy as something 'impossible' is quite bold. What we need to try it is to get rid of some existing government (preferably, finding one where the constituents would want to convert to anarchy), and then figure out the common policy toward criminals.
