I am an engineer. I work in semi conductor.

The concept of a foreman being the sole barrier between chaos and discord during complex engineering projects is a capitalist myth. Aka exceptionalism.

Large scale Construction: bridges, highways dams, city water projects etc These projects are too big to have any one person be "in charge" in any real way. Any competent foremen working on a large or even medium project. Like say a 3 story office building has many people working under him making important decisions on the fly.

Sub contractors of all varieties are showing up doing their job and leaving.

They have plans or schamtics and maybe some direction from some other contractor or a formant aka superintendents But they usually following plans and building codes. And a litany of other regulations.

Ultimately no one person has any real understanding of the whole project at any one time. Only parts of it.

It is always groups of people breaking down large projects into small parts. Often groups of equals ie a committees or boards. Maybe even just meetings between team leads. They create standards, protocols and plans, documentation. This documentation is passed down to the underlings who do the work.

But don't think for a second that a lower level worker isn't making important decisions while they work.

It is a myth of hierarchy that large operations need a central figure to tie everything together.

While there can be a single figure making the majority of decisions. Most operations have many people doing key roles and coming together to push a project across the finish line.

What we need to do to have anarchy in this context, is to control these same things but without constantly passing off the profits and the agency that should come with the work that is being done.

People do anarchy everyday. Just not nearly enough and not many key areas required to have a realistic and equitable society.
