That’s not the criticism that’s being made here. The criticism is not in how the power plant is organized, which the sketch doesn’t talk about that at all. The criticism is that you’d need people in the plant and if that work isn’t rewarded or paid in some way, they’re not going to be able to provide for themselves.
At the social level: recognition and respect from community members, status grounded in contribution rather than wealth, reciprocal relationships and mutual aid, and the experience of belonging.
Mutual aid is already acknowledged in the sketch. I don’t see any answer to the problem of doing it at scale.
If you need to provide hundreds of people with mutual aid for decades, then you’re probably going to have to have some sort of system to ensure people contribute to it and it goes to the right people. Congratulations, you just reinvented government, and contradicted the meme.
No no no, I’ll do it, but it doesn’t really seem fair. I mean, if I’m gonna be spending all day up at the reactor, how am gonna scavange and farm the land to provide food for my family?

Yeah I know, I watched it.
So what is your answer to the problems it raises?

Mutual aid networks can be scaled up indefinitly tho
How? What’s to stop anybody from coming up and saying, “I work with Dicknose up at the power plant, give me a food?”
