Sure, absolutely. Interregnums are loads of fun, particularly if you like killing, rape, murder, property confiscation, and all the other fun things that happen when you don’t have rule of law. These are hard on people who are more interested in building than destroying, but don’t we want evolution to eliminate weaklings anyway?
Seriously, we’d all love it if human nature allowed anarchies to work, but human nature doesn’t allow that, and seriously trying to create anarchy without changing human nature is a recipe for major blood-letting. What we need is not no central government. What we need is a more active citizenry. And if you think about it, the only way an anarchy can work is if the citizenry is active. So why not start with the hard part—activating more citizens—and leave the rest for later?
