Yes, the anarchy thing was kind of naive in some ways, Moore's even said so himself, but I see it as a necessary part of V's plan for revenge/justice in terms of his character and the story overall; after all, his desire for revenge is such that he not only wants to bring down the government and the people responsible for it, he wants to do it in such a way that it can never 'rise up' again in any shape or form - and what better way to do that than to make sure that no government of any form can ever exist again? Yes, it is kind of naive for V (through Moore) to think that any sort of permanent Anarchy could be brought about through any means, let alone the ones V uses, but with the genius and possible insanity that V is portrayed as having there's really no other way to have him go in the story except towards the most extreme, unexpected, and permanent solution.
I don't think you should let your political views keep you from enjoying one of the best-written and most intelligent 'revenge' stories ever made, because after all it is just a work of fiction meant as entertainment. You've probably suspended disbelief thousands of times before now with comics, movies, etc., no reason to make an exception for this one just because it is more political than most.
