Well I don't agree it is authoritarian. At least it is better than individuals viewing themselves as aristocrats above democracy. And the question remains: what is the alternative way of making decisions concerning a collective?

So the deal is other people produce and you steal from them? Is that your motto under the present system and under anarchy?

But what should be the structure of anarchy, the institutional framework?

State and capitalism should be replaced precisely because we don't need them, that is anarchist societies should take their place. But what should be the structure of anarchy, the institutional framework? What promotes maximum freedom for all?

I vote on the lesser evil under the present system. Do you want to let a greater evil win elections, let's say let fascists win instead of social democrats?

No economy whatsover? Back to hunters and gatherers?
How are we gonna replace capitalism and state of we have no idea of an alternative, if we don't care about proposing a hypothetical economy?

I still wonder what the alternative to syndicalist revolution is. How can we replace the state and with what kind of structure if not by direct democracy?

"But the point here is: moral condemnation of "free-riding" reinforces capitalist and workerist morality."
Not capitalist morality, on the contrary, capitalists are big free riders and parasites and syndicalism is about fighting it. You don't fight it by beeing a small free rider imitation of the big ones.
What is workerist morality?

And the alternative is? Some kind of market anarchism?

That's just one illustration of the fact that many questions can't be solved simply by contracts between two individuals. Many questions conscern a collective, so how should the collective decide if people don't wanna grant every individual a veto against the rest?
Instead of a road, lets say a community discuss if the economy should be planned and socialized or consist of co-ops on a market? People disagree, how is the conflict resolved?

Be a Saint?
Have to scab? Don't adults have some moral responsibility for how they behave? A worker can fight for better living conditions with the co-workers instead of undermining collective struggle.
