I really hate that this is a controversial opinion. There are places in the world where spanking has been banned for some time, and they haven't descended into anarchy. In fact, they tend to be some of the nicer countries to live.

So do I, and I grew up in one of those countries. So it is even odder for me having to actually argue with people that it is wrong to hit children, because as a rule everyone I meet in RL are against it.

Some might be okay with slapping a child hand if it tries to touch candles and such, but even that isn't universally accepted.

Yeah, but it is generally in countries that have a much broader approach to social wellbeing and welfare. Proper social safety nets and healthcare, affordable housing, well funded educational sectors, a justice system that focuses on rehabilitation and correction instead of vengeance and punishment. You can't just change one thing, you've got to have the whole package including higher taxes for the wealthy.

Well yes, but my point is that you can easily disprove the idea that kids who are not spanked turn into reprobate criminals by looking at places that have banned it. If merely Not Spanking causes problems, then everything else that you've mentioned shouldn't matter. The fact that countries that have banned spanking have solved social problems through other means demonstrates that spanking is not necessary.
