I think this is just in general an extension of my extreme skepticism towards purely social technologies though.

Current nascent criticism of anarchy is probably that it looks at the conditions where maximum sane and good things happen and then imagines these conditions are implementable from the outset as praxis rather than themselves the outcome of complex factors beyond human control.

What about post-left thought that says these "sane and good" things aren't worth the oppression that hierarchy imposes, and that if they can't be built without it then we're better off without?

You may have misunderstood me. I mean that anarchism looks and sees that where there is no oppression there is human flourishing and thinks "aha, we just have to prevent oppression" as if oppression is a free-floating social decision that's downstream of absolutely nothing.

Everyone will hate me for it but I think the best thing that can be done atm is to continue riding industrial society until it produces technology that can radically enhance human intelligence and radically decouple human well-being from a vast underclass of powerless labor.
