Don't work for a boss (like I'm doing), If you don't like it -> nothing incompatible with voluntaryism

They're a capitalist. They're the boss.

2 things : You didn't inherit anything from your parents ? No land, nothing ? Me too, I had to leave early & besides a computer I didn't have anything. Fortunately, I will soon buy a real plot of lands & I'll be good :)
Here are some ways to earn money without wage labor :
Freelancing
Affiliate marketing
Selling goods/services
Being a middle-man

Your parents are "responsible" to give you a good "starter pack" imo. If they didn't give you land, the fault is on them.
Secondly, you can still forage plants/fish/hunt on public & private land (If you're invited), but I won't go into the details .
Yes, It's subpar compared to the hunter/gatherer days, but what r you expecting ? We're growing as a species...
& Without government you could own all the "public" land, that the government prevents you from owning, so yea this will be a lot different.

TIL freelancing isn't labouring for a wage.
What you're describing has nothing to do with abolishing hierarchies (anarchism). It is capitalism, nothing more, and calling it something else doesn't make it less hierarchical or less destructive.

Well, both parties are a lot more accountable, very often It is short/medium term projects, so...
Either I'm a lucky bastard or smth, cuz I never had problems & everything worked as intended

You can abolish hierarchies in your ancom commune, but don't abolish it in other communes, who don't want it, Is it good ?

Ah the old "I'm alright Jack" argument. Not heard that one for a while. I'm sure the midwives in the favelas will sleep easier tonight knowing that capitalism is working great for at least one bootlicker person.

Nope. We're anarchists here, not communists. Anarchism is against hierarchy. The clue is in the title.
