THEN we will make the world better with the ones that manage to pull through. Can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs, huh?

I think you missed the point Jilly McJillerson. People don't WANT Anarchism, the only reason the workers seized that factory was that they were driven to it by necessity.
To tell you the truth, I don't think the good things we saw out of those workers we saw really had much to do with anarchism at all. Yes they functioned in a collective, as a community and overcame horrifying obstacles. Really, I think that was more a paroduct of their environment and not any method of trading. The same story is just as likely to take place in a capitalist community, provided everyone including the boss is struggling (ie: It's a Wonderful Life). Similarly, you would not see so much cohesion and community spirit in a anarcho/socialist community that was not in such dire economic straights.
Trying times bring out the best and worst of humanity, and I think it's a major fallacy to attribute that behavior to a method of trading (tempting though it may be).
