This is less an example of how anarchism can't do this or that, but rather that you can't have your insular little utopia if you're surrounded by powerful entities whose interests directly oppose yours. There is no right life within the wrong one.
I still don't see why a sewage system is cathegorically out of the question when the problems here are less "you can't organise the construction of a sewage system" and more "we still live in a globalised system which is fundamentally based on competition."
Did you miss the quoted bit where they talk about how they lack the of resources and expertise are a common problem? That’s the problem anarchists face IRL. The people that have these skills are incentivized to leave anarchist societies for ones that compensate them fir these skills.
workers crave wage slavery ?
Skilled labor will pursue higher compensatiom in many cases. Humans are humans after all and many are not motivated purely by altruism
Says who ?
Classical economics? Sociology? Psychology? If you think humans are primarily motivated by altruism please explain the West's rightward shift.
Capitalist neoliberalism.
First that's just incorrect. People have been motivated by compensation for longer than neoliberalism has existed (1930s )
Second you don't need to mention capitalism if ypu mention neoliberalism as Liberalism is always capitalist
Third woth two words you proved you know very little about economics and political philosophy as your reply makes zero sense. Last I checked both intro courses were still free online from MIT. You should look into them so you can at least learn what neoliberalism is
