David Rolfe Graeber (/ˈɡreɪbər/; February 12, 1961 – September 2, 2020) was an American anthropologist and anarchist activist. His influential work in economic anthropology, particularly his books Debt: The First 5,000 Years (2011), Bullshit Jobs (2018), and The Dawn of Everything (2021), and his leading role in the Occupy movement, earned him recognition as one of the foremost anthropologists and left-wing thinkers of his time.

    Why are you bothering to reply then unless your goal was to be rude to someone else? You certainly have nothing constructive to offer in your comment.

      It seems you are asking anarchism to prove itself as utopia for all.

        No, I am asking a practical question about the real world and the comment they made was just insulting me. How would anarchists confront a real world technological problem that they absolutely would face in a modern society. How would a non-capitalist non-authoritarian government fix this issue.

        The capitalists would incentivize this work through higher wages.

        The authoritarian might force those who can fix the issue to do the same (provided they don’t have the ability to compensate someone better)

        How do anarchists get the people who have these skills to do the work other than hoping that multiple people who have those skills choose to do so?

          This is such a sad world view that you have.

          And kinda ironic given that you are writing this on a platform developed and run by such highly qualified individuals not because they are paid for it or forced to do it, but because they think it is the right thing to do. And there are so many similar example all over the world, not only in the digital realm. And you know what? People that live somewhere tend to appreciate working water supply and sewerage systems and are willing to fix it themselves if not prevented by some government or company. It’s not that hard to do, and I have personally done it before.
