The only law they want to overturn Well, "the only law" they want to overturn and clearly do not recognize just so happens to be the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND (Art VI, cl 3), the ultimate legal authority of the U.S. That directly falls under the Oxford definition of "anarchy" as
a state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority,
by both the act of nonrecognition and the ensuing disorder it has caused.

I don't know why you think the collectivists approach of ignoring one law - which is indeed supposed to be the 'supreme law of the land' but is not supreme over anything if it's ignored - is more relevant than the thousands of new regulations created every year.
We certainly don't have an 'absence' of authority with 160,000 federal agents and every city/state/county having SWAT teams with armored vehicles. They may not be honored by some of us, but if an armored car shows up on the front lawn, most people would "recognize" that power, and while it's fine to say that the Federal government doesn't have the 'authority' to do something, if they have the power and the courts don't rein them in, then the difference is academic until and unless the people themselves reclaim our authority effectively.
I'll hold to my understanding of the political spectrum. When the only law they do away with is the one law that is supposed to limit Federal authority - while simultaneously creating thousands of new laws every year without any vote by elected representatives - it's hardly anarchy. The statist bureaucrats are concentrating power in government hands at the expense of the private citizen - the very opposite of anarchy.
