> That's a pretty big caricature of anarchists. I'd expect an anarchist to say something to the effect of businesses creating insulin if there's enough market demand for it.

You'd expect anarchists to support a business? Not left-anarchists, and I don't think I've ever met a "centrist anarchist". Ancaps maybe, but they're kind of bad for other obvious reasons.

Anyway, it is not, their answer is literally to shrug and say "people will do it".

Sometimes they say "people will network" or "we'll rob a CVS".

Either way, nobody has realized that supply chains exist. When they say "people", they don't mean businesses, because they don't believe in management or capital assets.

> The Chop wasn't any real attempt at anarchy. It was a protest that took a weird turn and a city that let it happen.

But that makes it even worse that their murder rate was so much worse than the rest of the country!

Of course, that's not the usual problem with an anarchist collective. The usual problem is what happens when the more charismatic members sexually assault the less charismatic members. (Hint: they get ejected for trying to go to the police and it gets covered up.)
