the question “who will clean the sewers under communism/anarchy?” has always had a confused framing. Might as well ask, “who will clean my room under anarchy/communism? Who will wash my dishes if I live alone?” We could live in filth of a society like when we don't clean our room, but who would want to do that? The abolition of separation and alienation would mean those are our sewers, that's my sewers, not in the sense of legal possession, but ownership in an usufruct sense. I'll clean it because I use it and I have a responsibility to use it well.
