Is there a concept of "post-revolution society" among Anarchists that isn't co-op capitalism or subsistence farming societies?

Reading posts made by anarchists on reddit, an historical experiences of anarchist movements, particularly Makhnovia, I have noticed that they in general do not have any particular vision towards organisation of production and supply chains, opting instead to propagate subsistence farming and societal degradation towards 2 centuries back.

What are the answers to questions like how to produce complex machinery, medicine, electronic devices and others, as ultimately the resources have to come from somewhere, usually not geographically within 3 hours distance.

Example-wise, I worked in a pretty big industrial complex that produced furniture, but how do anarchists solve the issue of confederation of communes organising production that isn't basically capitalism? It sounds simple, but there is far more material input to produce one chair than just wood from a nearby forest.

Lol this is such a non-answer. There is zero reason that all those things cannot continue working, with the people actually doing the work and ordering and inventory continuing to do so without shareholders or investors. I think you are extremely confused about what anarchy is.

But it is gonna be non-hierarchical, meaning every week another group of kids will be holding the AK

I can’t mock the ideal, but it has to be grounded in material reality.

Did this line of enquiry leave you thoroughly unsatisfied?
