Yes, I always form my socioeconomic conclusions based on television sitcoms, they’re the best source of opinions.
Sarcasm aside, the idea presented here doesn’t work for any more complex form of cooperative labor (e.g. public water systems, telecommunications infrastructure, hospital services, large research projects, bridge construction, etc). Someone has to perform administrative duties to organize the work being done and ensure that the needed materials and experienced personnel show up at the right places at the right times.
Like, try telling the head surgeon of an OR that the staff can be left to figure things out for themselves, and all the operations will get done correctly as scheduled without killing any patients. They’d laugh you out of the building. The surgery schedule would be chaos by the end of a single shift.
Organisation doesn’t mean orders from above or coercion. People are perfectly capable of organising themselves without a master. Many cooperatives use a commissioner to organise the division of labour, but they’re crucially not a boss. Every one of their decisions can be challenged and overruled. Unlike a boss.
The great thing about this system of non-coercion is you don’t need to participate. You can continue taking orders from someone you deem superior to yourself and we can self organise, and we can leave each other alone. No need to antagonise, because you can live your life and we can live ours.

Sarcasm aside, you have strong opinions for someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
