HERE'S WHAT I THINK
It seems however that this statement is inherently paradoxical as human society cannot function without some sort of structure on the base level.
YOUR TURN!
Is An Anarchist State Even Possible?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byYes, you're right!
mankind says:
At this point in time anarchy is not possible, it would take a worldwide effort to completely disarm and let go of power and money. Mankind would have to reach the intellectual level that peace is possible and anarchy is the only way to absolute peace and freedom. I believe that one day we will get there until then I will pay the government to live on there land; abide by my rules and morals. My country not my government, but I can wait for it.

Hmmm. Ive thought about this myself quite a bit. I think a complete anarchist state is impossible, as there would be no defense against the inevitable takeover of greed and fanaticism. However, If their were a loose set of laws such as "every person has complete freedom in his/her endevours as long as this freedom does not infringe on the rights of others to have this same ability" then a moderate anarchy I think would be very possible.

No, a Anarchist state is not possible, because having a state would not be Anarchism.
The wikipedia definition of Anarchism is completely wrong. The actual definition of Anarchism is "belief in the abolition of all government and the organization of society on a voluntary, cooperative basis without recourse to force or compulsion"
Anarchism is basically decentralized socialism. Socialism being that workers control the means of production. So Anarchism HAS organization. It is organized by workers councils and community assemblies which are then linked through a federation. Therefore no need of a state.
3 common misconceptions about Anarchism, which you have displayed are that:
1. It has no organization...WRONG, it is organization, but not in the form of anything like our current government.
2. It is chaos...WRONG, Anarchism isn't Somalia, Anarchism is peace and stability.
3. Everyone can do whatever they want with absolute liberty...WRONG, Anarchism maximizes individual liberty compared to all other economic and governmental forms, but people can't just go crazy and do whatever they want.
Don't listen to any of the other posters except Joel, they are all making up a bunch of bull because they don't know what they are talking about.

Most anarchism does have some sort of governance either in the form of a communal organizations or agro-industrial federation. The definition, while not incorrect per se, is still misleading. I suggest you read bakunin or proudhon.
