My response about "next,utopia, please" was to Jacob Conrad, not you. He was quoting your words but had appropriated them for his own position.
I would also "like to think ... that large permanent institutions producing complex things things could be made to work in noncoercive ... ways." Chuck0 defies over a hundred years of experience and theory when he insist this can never be. Many critics of anarcho-syndicalism (or maybe I should say "libertarian socialism") insist it is ill-suited to the complexities of society - Chuck0 seems to agree, and answers with, "Yeah, they are right, so therefore we must destroy industrialized society." It's a perverse position to take.
