When anarchists talk about authority and hierarchy, they're talking about coercive/oppressive power structures. Organisation doesn't have to be founded in obedience and control, it can also be built upon mutual agreement/consent and cooperation. Are you really unable to imagine any examples of the latter?

As for laws, they really aren't all that good at preventing "crime", because they don't address the fundamental reasons why people turn to "crime" in the first place. Plus, there are plenty of legal things which are unethical and plenty of ethical things which are illegal.

Some (religious) people think that without fear of god humans are immoral. I think that if the only reason you're not murdering people is out of fear of god then there's something seriously wrong with you. Replace "god" with "the law" and the same reasoning applies.
