Heheh.  That too, is anarchism in action, and it sure beats
authoritarianism.

There is always a balance.  If a person wants something so badly that he
pushes until he gets it, well, then while he was spending that effort he
had less energy to devote to defending things he wanted slightly less,
so other people more likely had their way with him in other departments.
It always works out in the end, if allowed to, and if the property
mechanism isn't allowed to concentrate undue power and wealth into an
individuals hands.
