Out of interest, what is that path?

In an anarchist reigon of spain, they produced so much bread and oil that after giving it away for free they were still able to export some (source).

If anything, anarchism would make managing the means more effiecent, since it elimates the bureaucracy around it. There would be more workers since Bullshit Jobs (read the book by David Graeber, even if you're not an anarchist it's a good read). Would be eliminted.

You should look into Capitalist Realism (people won't read the book, so here's the wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalist_Realism#HeroSection). It's easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism.

Anarchists/socialists want to sieze the means of production, not destroy them.

True, you can argue it either way.
When there's no one in charge, everyone is in charge.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_fallacy
Assuming that the text is wrong because it's fallacious is a fallacy.

Also: You are assuming that just because the text contains a fallacy, it is incorrect or worthless. That is a fallacy in itself.

How does it appeal to ignorance? It would be hard for a feudal peasant or lord to envision a capitalist society.

I'm saving up for a new phone and I'm thinking of getting a foldable one.

The one I had in mind was the Pixel Fold.
