Jack uses anarchism, the absence of government, as his method of winning over the boys and convincing them to leave Ralph.

Most importantly, Jack's disrespect towards the other boys makes him fearful to the others, and therefore the boys feel obligated to follow his orders if they want to avoid consequences.
