At the very least because, whatever its virtues, part of "working at scale" is being able to thrive in an ecosystem of that scale. If you have a system that is fantastic but can't defend itself or propagate itself vs competing systems, then it's not fantastic. Or rather, it is, literally, fantastic: it is a fantasy that the thing can work in the real world, whatever its theoretical properties.
That's my critique against most speculative philosophies in a nutshell, including anarchism. That's my critique against most things, in fact.
Only the real, only what you can see, not what people may think is a better alternative because it is just “fantasy”.
I think that we are now living in someone’s fantasy world and moving towards something that was only a fantasy in the ‘70s and ‘80s.
