For all we know, the factory owners quoted the right metric for forming a sustainable business.
Phrased another way, your uplifting story could easily be retold as a group of hicks taking over a industrial facility, asking for help and then rejecting it when it didn't taste good.
Furthermore, your emotional appeals at an "us versus them" atmosphere ignores one thing -- what if you're part of that business side and are functionally correct?
It sounds like your approach does away with whatever the mob doesn't like, regardless of correctness.
Then anarchy is:
A) unable to defend itself against malicious state actors and
B) useless for dealing with larger-than-individual actors
Also, the only thing I really value in this discussion are real world examples. That means something other than an economics textbook or old bones buried under soviet-made tanks.
