Simple, they would work anarchically. If the guy whose house is
burning down is an assh*le, then let it burn.
Somewhen in the last 50 odd years, equality of opportunity (to not be an
assh*le), got confused with egalitarianism (all
people get the same treatment, assh*les included).
Anarchy is admitting that egalitarianism can never work without
promoting assh*lism.
