So work for free?

Who would invest in facilities, develop workforces, etc, without a payoff?

I would. I regularly do.

One of the underpinning core beliefs of anarchist theory is "wellbeing for all". Every human deserves the best conditions we can collectively give each other, and we should all be working not for our individual enrichment, but for the enrichment of us all.

Some people genuinely believe that helping others get bigger quality of life is more important than helping themselves get rich. It's not impossible to believe that such a community, if it grew large enough, would extend that belief to spaces like factories and workforces.

Sane humans? The payoff is a functional country and less conflict.
