The Second Law deals with energy and how it relates to work and heat. It does not have anything to do with social structure, the same way that Darwinism has nothing to do with politics (aka Social Darwinism).
Trying to use a physical law to explain sociology is rather silly, and potentially dangerous.
"According to this principle, the entropy of any physical system tends to increase." that is not true, the amount of energy available for useful work tends to decrease over time in any closed system, not of any physical system.
It's the universe' entropy that always increases. In the case of societies, if the earth population is viewed like a social universe, then yes. It's overall entropy will always increase. I am not sure about anarchy though... Cause that has to do with political systems. I related it more to mixing of culture, races and ethnicity... Not that I wholly understand it! Just thinking... :-)
