Want more proof that Torah calls for Anarchism?

Four times in the Book of Judges we are told that "there was no king
in Israel in those days" (Judges 17:6; 18:1; 19:1; 21:25).

Judges 17:6 is usually rendered in English:

"In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that
which was right in his own eyes."

But that is not what the Hebrew says. It says:

בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם, אֵין מֶלֶךְ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל:  אִישׁ הַיָּשָׁר
בְּעֵינָיו, יַעֲשֶׂה.

Which means:

In those days there was no king in Israel. The people were honest and
as one, doing what is right in His eyes.
